Social visions to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources have motivated unprecedented growth in global renewable energy manufacturing. Previous literature shows that people committed to realizing such visions have difficulties reconciling with the negative social-ecological impacts of this mass production even if it presents a formidable challenge to a socially just and ecologically sustainable energy transition. This study contributes to a better understanding of how stakeholders view the promises and perils of large-scale renewable energy development. It draws on the petroculure literature to understand how stakeholder viewpoints of deep geothermal energy technology may be a product of the historically unparalleled energy throughput since the mid-20th century. The study relies on Q-methodology for identifying viewpoints among stakeholders in deep geothermal energy in Sweden. The results demonstrate a notable influence of petrocultural assumptions, which helps to explain how stakeholders obfuscate the materiality of renewable energy technologies. This suggests that social visions to replace fossil fuels with technologically sophisticated renewable energy systems could themselves be cultural products of the fossil era inclined to reproduce it.

更新地下能源制度？石油开采如何掩盖瑞典深层地热能技术的重要性

用可再生能源取代化石燃料的社会愿景推动了全球可再生能源制造业的空前增长。先前的文献表明，致力于实现这些愿景的人们很难接受这种大规模生产的负面社会生态影响，即使它对社会公正和生态可持续的能源转型提出了巨大的挑战。这项研究有助于更好地了解利益相关者如何看待大规模可再生能源开发的前景和风险。它利用石油文献来了解利益相关者对深层地热能技术的看法如何可能是自 20 世纪中叶以来历史上无与伦比的能源吞吐量的产物。该研究依靠 Q 方法来确定瑞典深层地热能利益相关者的观点。结果表明，石油文化假设具有显着影响，这有助于解释利益相关者如何混淆可再生能源技术的重要性。这表明，用技术先进的可再生能源系统取代化石燃料的社会愿景本身可能是化石时代的文化产物，倾向于复制它。
