Virtual globes, like Google Earth, are increasingly being used by experts and lay publics in the process of ‘defending place’ against rapidly shifting energy geographies. Drawing upon the fields of visual studies, landscape architecture and geography, this article examines the use of geospatial tools by conservation campaigns challenging new developments. With a focus on wind energy, the article describes the strategic advantages and risks associated with using virtual globes in campaign work. The article suggests that conservation campaigns need to make more judicious use of visualization technologies. While Google Earth may enable distant viewers to ‘witness’ change, it may add limited value to how local citizens experience their own topographies
