Public Responses to Fossil Fuel Export provides wide-ranging
theoretical and methodological international contributions on the
human dimensions of fossil fuel export, with a distinctive focus on
exporting countries, some of which are new entrants into the
marketplace.
What do members of the public think about exporting fossil fuels in
places where it is happening? What do they see as its main risks and
benefits? What connections are being made to climate change and the
impending energy transition?
How have affected communities responded to proposals related to fossil
fuel export, broadly defined to include transport by rail, pipeline,
and ship? Contributions to the work are presented in three parts. The
first part synopsizes the background of the project, outlines major
social science theories and relevant previous research, and identifies
global trends in energy production. Regional and national case studies
related to public opinion on fossil fuel export are included in part
two of the manuscript. Part three highlights community-based case
studies. Implications for research and practice feature in the
concluding chapter.
* Serves as a definitive reference on the social dimensions of
fossil fuel export, bringing together case examples and public opinion
research from around the world on this important but understudied
issue
* Explores the broader implications for growing field of energy
social science, particularly those focused on public perceptions of
energy development, siting controversies and community impacts from
energy development
* Provides practical and policy implications, including the need for
better community inclusion in export and transport facility siting
decisions, the changing status of certain fuels, impacts on public
awareness, and the relevance of the movement of energy resources
