Summary:
David Hughes examines the anti-industrial, anti-corporate resistance to sustainable energy, drawing on his time spent conducting field research in a Spanish village surrounded by wind turbines. He discovers that in the lives of a community freighted with centuries of exploitation-people whom the author comes to know intimately-clean power and social justice fit together only awkwardly.
