Golding uncovers the attitudes and motivations of wind opponents, wind developers, and policy makers in the states of Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire, showing how the conflict relates to intertwining social and environmental issues, such as struggles over natural resources in an economically depressed rural economy, and mounting tensions between rural spaces of production and urban spaces of consumption. Additionally, Golding looks at political reasons behind the region’s wind turbine development, and recommends transparency and greater citizen involvement in energy planning. B&w photos are included.
