Paper long abstract:

Diverse global crisis can be characterised through lost land forcing people to move and establishing of protective borders. Also the sense of terrain shifts, and space has become part of agitated geohistory (Latour). Matter of energy plays important role in maintaining freedoms of humans and simultaneously accelerating earth related transformations. This paper focuses on the anticipated futures of nuclear energy in context of Estonia, and how thematic discourses imagine relations between the energy matter and society. I analyse the ways temporality, care and volumetric terrains become entangled to energy transitions. The theoretical framework is elaborated together with analysing public discourses and situated stories. This perspective would contribute in bringing planetary care and spheres of ignorance down to earth along particular dynamics of transformations and related encounters.
