Resumo(s)
Climate policies in the European Union require a substantial reduction
in carbon emissions from road transport. However, in the last decades
the system of automobility has expanded considerably, establishing a process
of path dependence that is very difficult to reverse. Changes in current patterns
of automobility may increase oil vulnerability of citizens dependent on
the use of the car, aggravating forms of social inequity. Based on an analysis
of how television news framed a period of oil price rises in a country highly
dependent on car use, the article shows that oil vulnerability may resonate
with socially shared sociocultural meanings such as lack of trust in political
leaders, which may aggravate the social perception of unfairness and compromise
public support for energy transitions toward sustainability.
