To succeed--to replace fossil fuels with wind and solar power--that process must be fair. Otherwise, mounting pop- ular protest against wind farms will prolong carbon pollution and deepen the climate crisis. David McDermott Hughes examines that anti-industrial, anti- corporate resistance, drawing on his time spent conducting field research in a Spanish village surrounded by wind turbines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the lives of a community freighted with centuries of exploitation--people whom the author comes to know intimately--clean power and social justice fit together only awkwardly. A green economy will require greater efforts to get ordinary people such as these on board. Aesthetics, livelihood, property, and, most essentially, the private nature of wind resources--all these topics must be examined with fresh eyes.","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45029401198743,"sku":"9781839761133","price":1783.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781839761133.webp?v=1769203822","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/who-owns-the-wind-climate-crisis-and-the-hope-of-renewable-energy-9781839761133","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
