Critical Commentary

The attached document produces a detailed analysis of fuel poverty in the transport sector in France. What is particularly interesting about the study herein presented is the classification of the fuel poor into three subcategories. I believe it is through these subcategories that a more profound understanding of the fuel poor and the energy vulnerable can be reached. More specifically, subcategorizing those who are energy vulnerable, even in their transport, can help us understand how to best meet the needs of the greatest number of people, especially as it helps us understand the unique needs of each category of those who are energy poor. This article can be used as supporting evidence for future research on the matter and can also spark future queries on the subject. Some of these queries could be: at what point do transport and energy meet? What are the best strategies to analyze and deepen an understanding of this intersection? What are the costs of meeting these vulnerabilities, if any? What are the negative effects of being affected by these vulnerabilities?
