Abstract:

We summarise and take issue with Adam Cooper's analysis of the relationship between social scientific research and the formulation of energy policy. Cooper's case for ‘socio-technical’ energy research contains several empirical and logical flaws. We identify five points of weakness in what is intended to be a constructive critique. Though we share his concern that energy policy is less than ideal when lacking input from wider social science, we take a different view of why the problem Cooper identifies exists and, thus, what the appropriate solutions might be.
