| Summary: | Energy is one of the critical issues of contemporary industrial, economic, political, and cultural affairs. The use of energy resources and their transfers is strictly shaped by developing the growth strategies of both the public and private sectors. However, the ethical background, which shapes our intimate relations with this universe and its things, is not adequately considered. Most literature on energy research addresses neither how the moral grounds of energy decisions work nor the energy decision-making processes giving rise to ethical problems. For this reason, this research aims to analyze and understand the relationship between deontological and utilitarian theories of ethics and their applications in the decision-making processes of the energy field in a methodological way in which a developed method of ethical decision-making process correspondences to the debatable issues of the energy field. Our focus is beyond ecological sustainability, concentrating on human beings’ social/political existence and the effects of decisions with respect to deontological and utilitarian ethics in energy debates. The fairness of decisions is ascertained through a careful focus on how they are publicly communicated. |
