In this talk, I will reflect on the latest turns in American energy policy in the light of STS’s prior work on sociotechnical imaginaries. What changes and what remains the same as societies absorb technological developments has been a question of theoretical concern in STS. The case of nuclear power offers an opportunity for a relatively longue durée look at this question through the lens of one technological sector that has evolved in tandem with American power and politics since the mid-twentieth century.
本次演講將從科技與社會研究 (STS) 的「社會技術想像」（sociotechnical imaginaries）概念出發，反思美國能源政策的最新轉向。當社會面對科技發展時，哪些會發生改變、哪些會維持不變，是 STS 的一個理論關懷。在美國，從二十世紀中葉以來，核能作為一個技術體系和權力與政治不斷交織發展，恰好提供了我們一個從相對長期觀察的視角來思考這個 STS 理論的核心問題。
