Description
  • The quest for sustainable energy, one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century, calls for more input from academics than simply’ producing good science. Geographical imaginations are as old as storytelling and mapmaking, but this essay is neither about long ago and far away’, nor about utopian energy futures. This is a call to geographers to engage with alternative present’ energy scenarios, using the full range of analytical and discursive tools at our disposal. Drawing on a diverse tradition of imagined spaces and the awareness of absences (material, relational or otherwise), geographers should be able to contribute to the quest for a more sustainable society by assessing, envisaging, and communicating a counterfactual here and now’, based on good practices existing right now, but not (yet) right here. We need to understand how much more sustainable our bit of the planet would be if we could just, environmentally speaking, keep up’ with the best of our neighbours. This counterfactual present should be seen as neither radical nor utopian, because it only assumes the historic adoption of best practices which we now know to be feasible and successful.
