This comprehensive book delves into the intricate dynamics of community reactions to wind farms, employing an interdisciplinary social science approach to unravel the factors that facilitate social acceptance. Through extensive empirical research, Wind Power and Public Engagement explores the opposition to wind energy and examines the merits and limitations of the co-operative model of wind farm community ownership. Author Giuseppe Pellegrini-Masini conducts a comparative analysis of co-operative schemes and community benefits schemes, shedding light on their role in enhancing acceptability. He also delves into the influence of social factors such as pro-environmental attitudes, perceived benefits and costs, place attachment, trust, and individual resources like information and income on public perception of wind energy.
Five research cases, spanning England and Scotland, are meticulously investigated, including the pioneering local, community-owned wind farm cooperative in the UK. The book critically assesses existing social research theories and presents a fresh perspective, integrating rational choice and environmental attitudinal theories, to evaluate and comprehend the social acceptability of wind energy. Furthermore, it identifies emerging opportunities for fostering consensus within communities regarding locally proposed wind farms.
With its multidisciplinary approach and in-depth analysis, Wind Power and Public Engagement appeals to a wide range of students and scholars interested in renewable energy, energy policy, environmental sociology, environmental psychology, environmental planning, and sustainability. It serves as a valuable resource for policymakers seeking to navigate the complex terrain of public engagement with wind energy projects.
