Jesse P. Van Gerven critically analyzes the movement for a carbon-free and nuclear-free energy future in the U.S. using an environmental justice framework. Van Gerven explores how different social and environmental justice discourses are constructed through the claims of social movement organizations. This study shows how ideas of distribution, recognition, and representation structure the arguments made by anti-nuclear groups against the production of nuclear power. Through this analysis the author identifies general principals of energy justice. These principles can guide future energy policy and energy system development to ensure social and environmental justice.

The Anti-Nuclear Power Movement and Discourses of Energy Justice finds principles of energy justice that can and should guide future decision-making on choices about sources of energy. At the most general level, therefore, the manuscript is a philosophical search for justice. The author uses several scholarly approaches (sociological, political theoretical, historical, public-policy analytical, and science-society studies), combined with his own observations as a participant in activities he assesses. This book is both novel and significant, on several grounds…Enlarging the concept of environmental justice to include energy justice has not to my knowledge been attempted elsewhere, and it’s useful. Questions of justice surround choices of all energy sources, so principles for assessing disputes about justice are useful to societies. I was particularly intrigued by the close attention to the investment-finance angles developed. The author has done a fine piece of scholarship.
