Who Owns the Wind - David Hughes

Hi everyone! The next book we’re reading will be Who Owns the Wind by David Hughes and we will be meeting on 15th August to discuss IRL (or 14th online).

“David Hughes examines that anti-industrial, anti-corporate resistance, drawing insights from a Spanish village surrounded by turbines. In the lives of these neighbours – freighted with centuries of exploitation - clean power and social justice fit together only awkwardly. Proposals for a green economy, the Green New Deal, or Europe’s Green Deal require more effort. We must rethink aesthetics, livelihood, property, and, most essentially, the private nature of wind resources. Ultimately, the energy transition will be public and just, or it may not be at all”
