"Energy, while a necessity for survival, presents many problems on the path to ecological sustainability, and equitable social and economic development. Dominant energy practices are non-renewable, large-scale, and highly technical requiring incalculable capital investment. Relations of power that control energy resources, distribution and knowledge maintain inequities between nations and within nations, and marginalize the standpoint of women, the world's poor, and indigenous populations." (CANADIAN WOMAN STUDIES) The author analyzes the connection between energy use and gender and suggests that women must "take a role in shaping a gender sensitive movement toward sustainability."
