Energy research has been growing in a holistic way whereby researchers are connecting their research to the bigger picture of an ‘energy system’. Energy law scholarship has lacked this direction and traditionally has focused too narrowly on specific topics such as electricity markets or extraction. A major limitation has permeated through scholarship in the area and relatively no connection is made to the energy system. Energy law scholarship did not for example, state where the energy system can improve and deliver a just outcome. The lack of identifying such a connection has permitted energy law scholars to fall under the radar and continue to work on issues that in essence support the continued development of traditional energy sources, ie, fossil fuels. Only a minority of researchers have shifted their focus in a real and impactful way to ensuring energy law delivers just outcomes for society. Energy justice scholarship has allowed scholars to do that. It has emerged as a major interdisciplinary energy research topic yet there remain remarkably few energy law scholars interacting with it. Many scholars remain reluctant to read beyond traditional research in energy law not to mention engage in interdisciplinary energy journals which increasingly publish legal scholarship. This article calls for the further development of the modern energy law scholar. For such scholars to exist, there needs to be a revolution in energy law scholarship to ensure law contributes to the ongoing global climate emergency.

危机中的能源法：需要一场能源正义革命

能源研究一直在以整体方式发展，研究人员正在将他们的研究与“能源系统”的更大图景联系起来。能源法学术缺乏这个方向，传统上过于狭隘地关注特定主题，如电力市场或开采。一个主要的限制已经渗透到该领域的学术研究中，并且与能源系统相对没有任何联系。例如，能源法学术并没有说明能源系统在哪里可以改进并提供公正的结果。由于缺乏确定这种联系，能源法学者被忽视并继续研究实质上支持传统能源（即化石燃料）持续发展的问题。只有少数研究人员以真正有效的方式将注意力转移到确保能源法为社会带来公正的结果。能源正义奖学金使学者们能够做到这一点。它已成为一个重要的跨学科能源研究课题，但与之互动的能源法学者仍然非常少。许多学者仍然不愿超越传统的能源法研究，更不用说参与越来越多地发表法律学术成果的跨学科能源期刊。本文呼吁现代能源法学者进一步发展。为了让这样的学者存在，能源法学术需要一场革命，以确保法律有助于持续的全球气候紧急情况。能源正义奖学金使学者们能够做到这一点。它已成为一个重要的跨学科能源研究课题，但与之互动的能源法学者仍然非常少。许多学者仍然不愿超越传统的能源法研究，更不用说参与越来越多地发表法律学术成果的跨学科能源期刊。本文呼吁现代能源法学者进一步发展。为了让这样的学者存在，能源法学术需要一场革命，以确保法律有助于持续的全球气候紧急情况。能源正义奖学金使学者们能够做到这一点。它已成为一个重要的跨学科能源研究课题，但与之互动的能源法学者仍然非常少。许多学者仍然不愿超越传统的能源法研究，更不用说参与越来越多地发表法律学术成果的跨学科能源期刊。本文呼吁现代能源法学者进一步发展。为了让这样的学者存在，能源法学术需要一场革命，以确保法律有助于持续的全球气候紧急情况。许多学者仍然不愿超越传统的能源法研究，更不用说参与越来越多地发表法律学术成果的跨学科能源期刊。本文呼吁现代能源法学者进一步发展。为了让这样的学者存在，能源法学术需要一场革命，以确保法律有助于持续的全球气候紧急情况。许多学者仍然不愿超越传统的能源法研究，更不用说参与越来越多地发表法律学术成果的跨学科能源期刊。本文呼吁现代能源法学者进一步发展。为了让这样的学者存在，能源法学术需要一场革命，以确保法律有助于持续的全球气候紧急情况。
