Anti-wind opposition does not simply emerge where wind turbines are. It appears to diffuse across regions. In our new study of anti-wind initiatives in Germany, we find surprisingly little evidence that existing turbines themselves trigger new initiatives: doi.org/10.1007/s100...

Really nice blog on the tools that can be used to imagine the future(s) of a place, and most importantly, the decisions that need to be made to ensure that analysts can answer the questions "for whom, and by whom, is the future imagined"?

Regional futures are not relics of the past. They are political projects, made through voice, memory and choice.
