Iles, Chair Professor Matthew Wisnioski Professor David E. Winickoff Professor Laura Nader Spring 2015 Abstract Life Cycle Assessment of Energy Systems: Closing the Ethical Loophole of Social Sustainability by Nikolaos Sakellariou Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Alastair T. Iles, Chair This dissertation investigates the historical and normative bases of what contemporary engineers consider to be the embodiment of sustainability: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). It explores the interplay among technology ethics, energy systems, and how engineering cultures foster sustainability by adopting normative assumptions and problem-solving practices—particularly LCA—as part of their professional identities. Specifically, I provide a broad conceptual analysis of “sustainability engineering” in the US (1989- present) to unpack its history, epistemology and politics. I first show that the 1990’s produced two distinct engineering ideologies of sustainability—one emphasizing engineering creativity and innovation, and the other emphasizing normative ethics and socio-cultural change. I find that the dialectic between sustainability and engineering has been defined largely by an ideology of technological change. I argue that engineering ideologies of sustainability not only affect how professionals imagine LCA as a medium of technological and environmental transformation, but also how they conceptualize sustainability as a vehicle to renegotiate engineering knowledge and identity in addressing some of the most pressing existential dilemmas facing their discipline. Next, I investigate the politics of engineering identity formation in relation to social, political, regulatory and community pressure to reshape the ethics and boundaries of LCA. I show that starting around 2000, a small group of engineers and, vitally, companies and consulting firms with an eye to addressing technology’s “social impacts” have laid a basis for developing an interesting sustainability tool called Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA). SLCA, I argue, is an ideological hybrid where there are many spots of dissent and disagreement but also some surprising fundamental alignments between those who see engineering as technics and those who believe that engineering needs to be socially contextualized. SLCA attests to a messy, ongoing tussle between different viewpoints, where the dominant engineering ideology and culture begins to morph into a more open-ended approach. Finally, I focus on two case studies of sustainable energy system building—solar and wind project development in California’s West Antelope Valley (WAV)—to understand 1 in more detail the politics and ethics of LCA in energy systems. I describe how LCA became embedded in narratives and decision-making concerning renewable energy in the US—in their design, as well as in their regulatory, economic and environmental planning. California’s inaugural utility scale solar and wind projects were trumpeted as conforming to principles derived from LCA. At one level, I show, the siting of solar PV projects in the WAV was predicated on a mechanism linking legitimacy and life cycle thinking. At another level, along with projects’ contentious permitting and pre-construction phases, the interrelated questions of legitimacy and sustainability emerged from the LCA shadows and became central issues in rural renewable energy project development. I explore the tensions between technical expert and lay expert knowledges that swirl around the deployment of LCAs in solar project development and I argue that LCAs enabled disembodied and context-less decision-making. Seen through my ethnography in the WAV, I present material on the internecine politics of renewable energy project development that took place locally and at the Los Angeles County level—a local- regional scale perspective that is often not seen in the literature. I describe how the fractured relationships between stakeholders and the disparity between rural and urban mechanisms of governance facilitated the diminishing fairness and participatory democracy in renewable energy project dispute resolution. 2 To the Divine Mother Om Bolo Shri Sat Guru Bhagavan ki Jai To my Teachers To Tilemachos Sakellariou, the one who never ceased to believe in me; To Rafa Sakellariou, the one who continuously shows me the way of the Light; and to Rusty Wells, the one who opened my heart and stretched my imagination. i Table of Contents: Part I (Engineering and Sustainability) Chapter 1: Engineering Sustainability, Sustaining Engineering.………………………….1 Chapter 2: A Critical History of Sustainability Engineering………………………….....17 Chapter 3: Resisting Sustainability……………………………………………………... 59 Part II (Life Cycle Analysis) Chapter 4: When Social Values Make an Entry…………………………………………84 Chapter 5: Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA) Rationalities……………………….111 Part III (Case Studies) Chapter 6: Life Cycle Sustainability, Renewable Energy Project Development, and the Exclusion of Local Knowledge in California’s Western Antelope Valley……………..141 Chapter 7: Through an Ethnographic Lens: Local-Regional Politics of Utility Solar and Wind Siting in California……………………………………………………………….173 Chapter 8: Epilogue…………………………………………………………………….224 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………234 Appendix 1……………………………………………………………………………..270 Appendix 2……………………………………………………………………………..272 ii Acknowledgements I have enjoyed a rare privilege over the last seven years.

This dissertation project is theirs, including: Tom Munsey, Jim Evans, Greg McIsaac, John Peet, and Gerry Te Kapa Coates. iii Chapter 1 Engineering Sustainability, Sustaining Engineering Engineers are the unacknowledged philosophers of the postmodern world. Carl Mitcham, “The Importance of Philosophy to Engineering”1 Introduction In light of “undeniable realities of acid rain, reduction in the ozone layer, and (now) CO2 emissions,” wrote the New Zealander engineer David Thom, Chairman of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) Committee on Engineering and Environment from 1991 to 1999, “we see the dangerous failure… [of the position that]… the engineer is the servant of political processes.” Thom, echoing many past and present engineering leaders, suggested that political arrangements could hardly be expected to settle the social impacts of technology. In this regard it was “incumbent on the engineer (in professional self-interest, if no for other reason) to become fluent in the analysis of [such] consequences” through adopting the tools and fundamental precepts of sustainability.2 Six years after Thom distinguished between engineering service and political servitude, he asserted that the profession had “a choice between two paths.” Engineers, he elaborated, could either “trail behind the accelerating pace of events…until… [they] are no longer relevant,” or they could “accept challenge, change, trauma and travail and march in the vein of the new Industrial Revolution.”3 This preoccupation with meeting the sustainability challenge so that engineers are not “left behind in the decision-making process that will influence the future shape of this world” not only prompted Thom’s article, but also the 1993 American Association of Engineering Societies (AAES) statement on the “Role of the Engineer in Sustainable Development.” 4 This realization is how sustainability became

    After the Fall: Revisioning the Cold War: A Report on the XVIIth IAMHIST Conference, 25-31 July 1997, Salisbury MD By John C. Tibbetts “The past can be seized only as an image,” wrote Walter Benjamin. But if that image is ignored by the present, it “threatens to disappear irretrievably.” [1] One such image, evocative of the past and provocative for our present, appears in a documentary film by the United States Information Agency, The Wall (1963). Midway through its account of everyday life in a divided Berlin, a man is seen standing on an elevation above the Wall, sending out hand signals to children on the other side in the Eastern Sector. With voice communication forbidden by the Soviets, he has only the choreography of his hands and fingers with which to print messages onto the air. Now, almost forty years later, the scene resonates with an almost unbearable poignancy. From the depths of the Cold War, the man seems to be gesturing to us. But his message is unclear and its context obscure. [2] The intervening gulf of years has become a barrier just as impassable as the Wall once was. Or has it? The Wall was just one of dozens of screenings and presentations at the recent “Knaves, Fools, and Heroes: Film and Television Representations of the Cold War”—convened as a joint endeavor of IAMHist and the Literature/Film Association, 25-31 July 1997, at Salisbury State University, in Salisbury, Maryland— that suggested that the Cold War is as relevant to our present as it is to our past.

In these pages you will once again find a full record of the extensive events programme which we delivered during the course of our 2018-2019 series. Topics and regions predictably included Brexit, China, Russia, the Middle East and the US, as well the big global issues of the day: climate change, terrorism, globalisation, cybersecurity. But the breadth and range of countries, region and topics covered was striking, from Brazil to Yemen, and from international development and the Commonwealth to the return of great power rivalry, attracting record audiences along the way. Unsurprisingly, much focus and political capital has continued to lie with the Brexit process, which has dominated the public discourse. But in GSF debates throughout the year on the UK’s role in the world, I observed a clear desire – demand, even - for substance to be given to the concept of ‘Global Britain’ and a firm eschewal of any reduction in our engagement in world events. During this period of change and uncertainty in the UK and beyond, the answers to the many complicated questions of policy and strategy facing us remain elusive, but GSF’s mandate requires us to continue to strive to seek them.
