Book
Who owns the wind? : climate crisis and the hope of renewable energy / David McDermott Hughes.
"David Hughes examines the anti-industrial, anti-corporate resistance to sustainable energy, drawing on his time spent conducting field research in a Spanish village surrounded by wind turbines. He discovers that in 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"-- Provided by publisher.
