Leny Patinaux, « On landowners’ role in wind energy development. Thinking about the energy transition via the land issue », Revue Française de Socio-Économie, ID : 10670/1.v9ntt6
The land issue is central to understanding the local deployment of the energy transition. Indeed, landowners find themselves at the center of local tensions caused by the installation of wind turbines. Studying the energy transition based on access to land by wind energy industrialists allows us to question their practices and the administrative regulation of the implantation of wind farms. Moreover, this paper highlights how different exclusion regimes are organized, on which the exploitation of resources is based. To do so, it explores the linkages between the energy transition and biodiversity conservation by discussing the effects of wind turbines on hunting.
