I am looking for fellow social science scholars on wind power.
I am preparing an article about public participation in environmental assessment in Flanders and the Netherlands.
The dataset of publicly available comments is rich enough for additional publications, though that requires teamwork.

I was playing around with @deepseek (hope you are my beloved AI-witch 💖).
I just randomly fed a post from my blog to it, to test it's capabilities and fell in love with the insights and feedback shared.

O desenvolvemento da enerxía eólica en Galiza conta con baixos niveis de xustiza enerxética. Entre outros aspectos pódese sinalar os baixos pagamentos aos propietarios dos terreos (moitos deles veciñais) e os procesos de expropiación.

Can anyone identify the socially-beneficial AI applications that need so much computing power that suppliers think they need to invest in dedicated geothermal and nuclear power plants? #AI #CS #Degrowth #EnergyJustice #ThinkOfThePlanet #Hype
Ignoring for a moment that Norway could exceed the carbon reduction of this project simply by sealing off a bit of extraction (Norway can simply forgo some income to entirely avoid any such "dilemma" as a matter of net effects) this is a very interesting conjunction and outcome.

Today, I presented my ongoing interdisciplinary research on #energypoverty, #publichealth and #climatechange at the #energyjustice early career conference at the Tilburg University and with Energy Justice & the Social Contract Chair. In this research, I investigate how #energyburden and the public health burden of #heatwaves is currently correlated in #California, and how the distribution of harms is projected to develop with climate change.

At the 2nd Young Scientists Dialogue of the German-Japanese Energy Transition Council I called for greater efforts to assess the social impacts of #energytransition policies. Energy policies can change the way that benefits, burdens and inequalities develop in the future, which in turn can be central to the public opinion on their measures. There are already a number of indicators and methods available to integrate #justice into energy models! #energyjustice #justtransition @RL_Institut
Pleased to share my article "Energy Justice and Renewable Rikers." It is the lead article of the latest volume of the #MiamiLawReview. It draws in part on all the #history research I did for #NamingGotham. TLDR: If we start by prioritizing justice, we think about problems (and their answers) in new ways.

When central institutions fail in the face of adversity and communities are left to cope on their own (repeatedly) they have to become resilient. But that is a "coerced resilience" vs. a "chosen resilience" with important justice implications according to this new paper. Very interesting.
