Transactional or transformative? Offshore wind developer perspectives on community benefit mechanisms in the United States
Watered down justice: Experiences of the offshore wind transition in Northeast coastal communities in the United States
Electric vehicles and rooftop solar energy: Consumption values influencing decisions and barriers to co-adoption in the United States
This study investigates household decisions regarding adoption of solar panels and plug-in electric vehicles in the United States (CA, CO, FL, MA, MN, TX, VA). Although the adoption of each technology is well-documented, the dynamics of their co-adoption have been understudied. This study uses Theory of Consumption Values to investigate co-adoption decisions. Employing qualitative interviews with co-adopters and single technology adopters, this r…
Sustainable Energy Siting, Affect, and Climate Mitigation: Questions for a Future Research Agenda
The affective sciences are essential to research regarding sustainable transition towards renewable energy. We focus on important questions that should be addressed by affective science in relation to the siting of large-scale renewable energy projects like wind and solar. Considering the recent acceleration of the transition, a more holistic understanding of negative and positive emotional responses to energy development will be essential. This …
Pluralizing energy justice: Incorporating feminist, anti-racist, Indigenous, and postcolonial perspectives
Justice represents not only a moral obligation but can enhance the legitimacy and acceptance of a rapid push toward global decarbonization. Innovations in technology, even those geared toward sustainability, can both reinforce and introduce new inequalities and disparities across populations, while also perpetuating environmental degradation. The concept of energy justice has emerged as a conceptual, methodological, and empirical tool to both hig…
Love thy neighbor (or not): Regionalism and support for the use of offshore wind energy by others
Uncharted waters: Exploring coastal recreation impacts, coping behaviors, and attitudes towards offshore wind energy development in the United States
The non-negligible influence of global sea level change on the distribution of maritime zones
What’s love got to do with it? Understanding local cognitive and affective responses to wind power projects
Negative perceptions of renewable energy development can lead to protest, resulting in project delay or failure. Alternatively, good communication and sensitivity to community feelings are pathways to success. While literature referencing the social aspects of wind power siting have become widespread, analyses which include individuals’ affect or emotional dimensions are rarer. Appreciation for emotional as well as cognitive perceptions is crucia…
Faring well in offshore wind power siting? Trust, engagement and process fairness in the United States
Although visual effects may be the most defining characteristic of a wind project, implementing fair, transparent and just decision-making processes may be a significant determining factor in success. To shed light on this question, we undertook a study of perceptions of mainland coastal and island residents proximate to the Block Island project—the first offshore wind project in the United States. The study included a longitudinal survey of resi…
Reconsidering barriers to wind power projects: Community engagement, developer transparency and place
In 2016, we undertook a nationally representative wind power perceptions survey of individuals living within 8 km of over 600 projects in the United States, generating 1705 telephone, web, and mail responses. We sought information on a variety of topics, including procedural fairness and its relationship to project attitude, the foci of the present analysis. We present a series of descriptive statistics and regression results, emphasizing those r…
Power transmission: Where the offshore wind energy comes home
Wind in the sails or choppy seas: People-place relations, aesthetics and public support for the United States’ first offshore wind project
A comparative assessment of proposed offshore wind power demonstration projects in the United States
See me, Feel me, Touch me, Heal me: Wind turbines, culture, landscapes, and sound impressions
Community-based wind energy projects, with their small-scale, yet sizeable presence, provide a valuable opportunity to understand how individuals make sense of changes to their communities and to the surrounding landscape. Here, we examine the results of a 2013 mail survey of individuals residing in the vicinity of a 2 MW wind turbine that is located on the edge of the historic coastal town of Lewes, Delaware in the United States, and adjacent to…
The Offshore Wind Power Debate: Views from Cape Cod
Wind power resources on the eastern U.S. continental shelf are estimated to be over 400 GW, several times the electricity used by U.S. eastern coastal states. The first U.S. developer proposes to build 130 large (40 story tall) wind turbines in Nantucket Sound, just outside Massachusetts state waters. These would provide 420 MW at market prices, enough electricity for most of Cape Cod. The project is opposed by a vigorous and well-financed coalit…
Agency governance and enforcement: The influence of mission on environmental decisionmaking
Administrative agencies seeking to impose sanctions for regulatory violations can handle matters internally or through civil or criminal courts. Organizational culture, legal constraints, and political and private actors may influence governance and hence choice of enforcement venue. An enforcement behavior model is constructed and tested empirically using a 1990–1997 sample of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) air, water, and hazardous waste…
