Abstract	At the urging of international scientists, large industrialized nations like the United States must transition away from fossil fuel energy and toward renewable energy by 2030 in order to stay the tide of climate change. To complete this energy transition citizens must take up responsibilities to change the known paradigms of environmental sustainability, social justice, and economic reform. Ethics delegate responsibilities, and thus must be consulted when the energy transition conversation turns to obligations. The major classic moral theories of utilitarianism and deontology fall short of inspiring the citizen uptake of responsibilities in the energy transition, but the theory of care ethics presents strong potential to obligate individuals and communities in their energy transition endeavors.
