Energy Tradeoffs Podcast #6 – Sharon Jacobs
For this week’s EnergyTradeoffs.com podcast interview, we have the University of Colorado’s Sharon Jacobs talking with David Spence about her research on “Environmental Privileging.”
Sharon talks about how different actors privilege different values in energy policy and argues that scholars should be explicit about which values they are privileging. She takes the case study of privileging environmental values in energy policy and argues that while “privileging certain values and goals is not a problem,” it can create problems if it is “unacknowledged or hidden.” She shows how policymakers can be explicit about what values they are privileging and why they are doing so.
