WE 2300 - Social Impacts of Wind Energy
The proliferation of renewable energy in general, and wind energy in particular, has led to many societal changes that are of interest to historians, economists, and sociologists alike. From this basis, this course explores the topic of wind energy through the many lenses of a social scientist. We will discuss the development of wind power in America and Europe and trace the impacts of this new technology on the relationship between humans and the environment, development and change in emerging economies, evolving issues for public administrators, sustainability, and the growing concern of anthropogenic climate change.
