Is a Second Negawatt Revolution Within Reach?

Willem H. Vanderburg

Centre for Technology and Social Development, University of Toronto

It is argued that contemporary civilization may be distinguished by the fact that its technology-based connectedness is fast displacing its culture-based connectedness. This article examines the ramifications of this phenomenon from the perspective of sustainability in general and its implications for our "energy systems" in particular. The diagnosis is followed by policy suggestions that would make energy use not only more sustainable but also bring it in line with human values and aspirations.

Key Words: Energy efficiency • energy end-use • energy planning • energy policy • soft energy paths
