Rage against the fossil machine: The deactivation of fossil energy production in Italy
The ‘fossil machine’ is the powerful and widespread network that supports fossil fuels and obstructs their phase-out. This article assumes that in order to advance the decarbonisation of fossil-based socio-economic systems it is first necessary to ‘deactivate’ the related fossil machine: to investigate how to do so we propose a new reticular approach. The article adopts this approach to investigate the deactivation of the 2019–2022 fossil machine built around a group of coal plants in Civitavecchia – the long-standing fossil energy city close to Rome, Italy – whose planned conversion to gas was eventually abandoned. The article explains the descriptive and analytical role of the reticular approach to the fossil machine. It then uses it descriptively to present, frame, and discuss the practices of destabilisation and disruption and the agents of transition that carried out these practices to deactivate Civitavecchia's fossil machine. It concludes by reflecting on the potential of the reticular approach.
期刊介绍:
Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles examining the relationship between energy systems and society. ERSS covers a range of topics revolving around the intersection of energy technologies, fuels, and resources on one side and social processes and influences - including communities of energy users, people affected by energy production, social institutions, customs, traditions, behaviors, and policies - on the other. Put another way, ERSS investigates the social system surrounding energy technology and hardware. ERSS is relevant for energy practitioners, researchers interested in the social aspects of energy production or use, and policymakers.
Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) provides an interdisciplinary forum to discuss how social and technical issues related to energy production and consumption interact. Energy production, distribution, and consumption all have both technical and human components, and the latter involves the human causes and consequences of energy-related activities and processes as well as social structures that shape how people interact with energy systems. Energy analysis, therefore, needs to look beyond the dimensions of technology and economics to include these social and human elements.
