- W2737018445 abstract "The threat of potentially catastrophic climate change has led to 195 countries pledging to keep global average temperature rise well below 2°C based on pre-industrial levels. Wind energy technology has developed to a point where it can make a significant contribution to meeting this objective. A number of countries have developed substantial wind energy networks in recent years which in turn has attracted much scholarship. The environmental impacts of wind energy technology have been the subject of considerable scientific scrutiny. However, the social implications have often been examined in terms of people’s different responses or ‘attitudes’ to wind energy, with the underlying aim to achieve ‘social acceptance’. In this thesis, I take an alternative perspective: I contend that the technological fix discourse which often accompanies wind energy technology masks the social relations underpinning the deployment of these technologies. Using the lens of commodification, I argue that commodity relations have underscored the deployment of much onshore wind capacity. Through this examination I ‘de-reify’ these relations and normatively critique them based on their consequences for society. These include, but are not restricted to, economic inequality, cultural landscape deterioration and degradation of community ties. By showing that these relations are neither natural nor necessary but social and contingent, I open the door for alternative social relations that might abate the negative impacts stemming from commodification. After unpacking different forms of community energy, I argue that community wind energy co-ops can be conceived of as a practice of ‘commoning’. This claim is illustrated with fieldwork on the Aran Islands Energy Coop off the West of Ireland. The logic of commoning is counterposed to that of commodification and can provide a viable alternative that can use wind energy technology while avoiding the undesirable social consequences stemming from commodification.
