Renewing Destruction Wind Energy Development And Resistance In A Latin American Context Alexander Dunlap by Alexander Dunlap instant download after payment.

Renewing Destruction examines how wind energy projects impact
people and their environments. Wind energy development, in Mexico and
most countries, fall into a ‘roll out’ neoliberal strategy that is
justified by climate change mitigation programs that are continuing a
process of land and wind resources grabbing for profit. The result has
been an exaggeration of pre-existing problems in communities around
land, income-inequality, local politics and, contrary to public
relations stories, is devastating traditional livelihoods and
socio-ecological relationships. Exacerbating pre-existing social and
material problems in surrounding towns, wind energy development is
placing greater stress on semi-subsistence communities, marginalizing
Indigenous traditions and indirectly resulting in the displacement and
migration of people into urban centers.
Based on intensive
fieldwork with local groups in Oaxaca, Mexico, this book provides an
in-depth study, demonstrating the complications and problems that emerge
with the current regime of ‘sustainable development’ and wind energy
projects in Mexico, which has wider lessons to be drawn for other
regions and countries. Put simply, the book reveals a tragic reality
that calls into question the marketed hopes of the green economy and the
current method of climate change mitigation. It shows the variegated
impacts and issues associated with building wind energy parks, which
extends to recognizing the destructive effects on Indigenous cultures
and practices in the region. The book, however, highlights what to
consider or, more importantly, what to avoid if one is working with
industrial-scale wind energy systems.
