It Might Get Loud
"If people feel that energy solutions are imposed on them, for instance a new wind farm or nuclear power plant, they are more likely to object. My research has highlighted the importance of involving local communities in decision-making, thereby tailoring solutions to fit a specific community or area. In the case of wind farms, the benefits can leave the community, particularly if the electricity generated goes to the national grid. But by involving host communities in the decisions that affect them, facility siting becomes a much fairer and democratic process."
No sé... me falla el inglés tal vez, pero al I read this in a scientific way (from a research group here) to say: if to convince the profitability (read money) project, we will do it smoothly.
amazing thing is that it puts the same level a farm of wind turbines and nuclear power plant.
continues:
"local Addressing Opposition in the context of facility siting is only half of the story. In Many Communities There exists a host Silent Majority Who are Either Supportive of, or indifferent to Proposed Installations; However, it is the That minority Vociferous exerted tendon to the Biggest Impact on planning decisions. "
This suggests that most (And blending two groups, eye) is for or indifferent. Many indifferent (read ignorant of the impacts) will be compared to those who are in favor (ie those who see a possible benefit).
is to reduce the problem of a project only to nearby communities, but it ignores the fact that today we can no longer speak of isolated communities. Then, the benefits must be for all, otherwise how to convince many people.
is incredible that money is spent to find ways to convince others that you're right (read benefit) and not invested in what ... I do not know, a better world for all and not for the few. It's almost like denigrate the majority of the inhabitants of the planet to mere extras that play a role in your big and important story. What kind of blind selfishness can lead to this?
course every day is easy to ignore the side, but when that is extrapolated to the rest of the world without further questioning ... Maybe it's part of ourselves which is reflected in everything around us, but I have the hope of ever seeing a more hopeful course for our species.
Perhaps it's just a matter of my mood these days to see everything so black?
