Abstract

■ Geographies of energy today may be as much structured by politics and institutions as by geographies of resources. ■ Venezuela is seeking to profit more from its oil, and to include the poor in the benefits. There is much dispute about its effectiveness at both. ■ Biofuels are being promoted as a solution for poor countries, but there is intense debate as to whether biofuels are really green or really pro-poor.
