Wind Energy
Wind energy converts the movement of the atmosphere into useful electrical power and has become one of the major pillars of the global renewable-energy transition. Its rapid development also illustrates how engineering, geography, ecology, planning, economics and community acceptance meet within a single technology.
Seeing the larger connections
This page will gather Whole Life Times material on onshore and offshore wind, technological development, energy systems and the environmental and social questions that accompany large-scale deployment. As with other WLT subject pages, the aim is not simply to celebrate a technology but to understand it within the whole system of which it is part.
As this part of the Whole Life Times website develops, the page will connect relevant magazine articles, historical archive material, WLT Dialogues, books, research and related subjects. In that way it can grow from an introductory pathway into a richer and increasingly interconnected field of knowledge.
What will gather here
WLT Articles
Current and recent Whole Life Times articles directly concerned with wind energy and its wider connections.
From the Archive
Earlier WLT articles will be added as the historical print collection is scanned, recovered and classified.
WLT Dialogues
Relevant conversations with researchers, practitioners, thinkers and change-makers will progressively be connected here.
