ABSTRACT

Energy supply is a cornerstone of economic development and Latin American electricity needs are projected to grow 90% by 2040 (Balsa, Espinasa, and Serebrisky, 2015). Regional power sources demonstrate energy violence, defined as intentional or disproportionate injury or harm during the energy lifecycle (i.e., production, transport, waste disposal, and so on). Our objective is to identify cross-national types of violence in the energy sector (Table 38.1).
