The dominance of political communication over an issue like wind energy has the power to overwhelm attempts to frame wind farming as a scientific or environmental issue in the mediated public sphere. Using regulation as the primary newsmaker, politicians instead of scientists or environmental organizations become journalists’ sources in framing the issue. Wind energy is a special issue that is…

Linnerud et al.
Global investments in offshore wind energy are expected to escalate over the coming decades, fueled by improvements in technology, declining costs, and increasing political support. The complexity, scale, and location of these developments make international ownership and export of electricity more feasible. We examine how the general public's acceptance of wind energy will be affected by a…

Chen et al.
Renewable energy is gaining popularity since it is cheaper and more efficient than conventional energy sources. New green energy technologies, like wind energy, are primarily utilized to maintain ecological sustainability. This study looked at the asymmetric link between wind energy and ecological footprint in the top-10 wind energy-consumer economies (China, USA, India, UK, Germany, Spain,…

Hübner et al.
To foster the green energy transition, local acceptance of wind energy is highly relevant. Since simple solutions like setback distances do not reflect the issue complexity, we incorporated acceptance factors from social science and interdisciplinary research in an Integrated Acceptance Model (IAM). To capture impact differences of the acceptance factors, in Study 1, residents of three…

The wind power industry looks set for a boom following the agreement of the EU's 2009 Renewable Energy Strategy and the introduction of a more sympathetic planning act last year. But the picture across Europe remains inconsistent; although many countries are building wind farms capable of generating hundreds of megawatts of power – in Denmark, nearly one fifth of stationary…

Offshore Wind Energy (OWE) can be considered the Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) with a higher potential of newly installed power in marine areas more the following decades. As a primary phase of the Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs) development, focusing on the long-term Offshore Wind (OW) potential assessment and mapping is necessary to highlight the best areas for turbine generators installations…

Ocean energy has emerged as a highly promising and environmentally sustainable means of generating renewable electricity, owing to its vast untapped potential. This study focuses on an array of ocean energy technologies, which include tidal energy, wave energy, OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion), salinity gradient energy, and ocean current energy. It examines various power generation…

The surf zones are significantly affected by tides, however, several gaps still in knowledge of fish assemblages in surf zones response to spring-neap and daily tidal cycles. We investigated fish assemblages in a surf zone of Gaolong Bay in China. The dynamics of fish assemblages were examined during the neap tide and the spring tide to test the hypotheses that (1) fish assemblages reflect a…

Forage fishes are a critical food web link in marine ecosystems, aggregating in a hierarchical patch structure over multiple spatial and temporal scales. Surface-level forage fish aggregations (FFAs) represent a concentrated source of prey available to surface- and shallow-foraging marine predators. Existing survey and analysis methods are often imperfect for studying forage fishes at scales…

Stokes et al.
Addressing climate change requires societies to transition away from fossil fuels toward low-carbon energy, including renewables. Unfortunately, large wind projects have proven politically controversial, with groups opposing them across advanced economies. To date, there are few large-scale, systematic studies to identify the prevalence and predictors of opposition to wind energy projects.…

With the stormy growth of marine renewable energy (MRE) and fishery, fair ocean zoning becomes crucial pillar for reconciling conservation and development. Furthermore, the ocean zoning problem with fairness is complicated by ambiguous spatial demand and suitability values (MRE, fishery, and conservation) due to the scarce data and complex environment. To effectively address this issue, we…

Tidal energy extraction is increasingly being studied as a potential renewable energy resource in estuaries worldwide. Although it is understood that energy extraction via tidal stream turbines can modify currents and transport within estuaries, it is not clear how the underlying nonlinear physical mechanisms dictating tidal hydrodynamics are modulated. This research investigates the influence…

The interactions between marine wildlife and marine energy devices are not well understood, leading to regulatory delays for device deployments and testing. Technologies that enable marine wildlife observations can help to fill data gaps and reduce uncertainties about animal–device interactions. A validation test conducted in Galveston Bay near La Porte, Texas, in December 2022 used a…

The deployment of wind energy projects (WEP) within the process of energy transition changes energy landscapes and daily living environments. With regard to social acceptance as one social response towards WEP, the role of different aspects of justice (i.e. procedural, distributive, recognition) has been discussed. This study highlights the importance of social norms and their influence on…

Support of artificial intelligence, renewable energy and sustainability is currently increasing through the main policies of developed countries, e.g., the White Paper of the European Union. Wind energy is one of the most important renewable sources, growing in both onshore and offshore types. This paper studies the most remarkable artificial intelligence techniques employed in wind turbines…

Purpose Several life cycle assessments (LCAs) of wind energy published in recent years are reviewed to identify methodological differences and underlying assumptions. Methods A full comparative analysis of 12 studies were undertaken (ten peer-reviewed papers, one conference…

Federal and state governments have developed ambitious goals for offshore wind projects. While Maine wants to take part in this trend, it has passed a moratorium on offshore wind projects in state waters. Considering this ban, pressure to develop offshore wind energy, and potential impacts of such projects on local ecology and habitats, Maine needs to develops a strong voice in offshore wind…

Research on potentially adverse effects of wind farms is an expanding field of study and often focuses on large raptors, such as golden eagles, largely because of their life history traits and extensive habitat requirements. These features render them sensitive to either fatality (collision with turbine blades) or functional habitat loss (avoidance through wariness of turbines). Simplistically…

Wind energy presents many advantages, but windfarms pose risks to wildlife and habitats. We hypothesized that habitat changes caused by the impacts of windfarm construction and wildfire would alter the spatial ecology of Spotted Turtles (Clemmys guttata (Schneider 1792)). In a space-for-time study design, we outfitted 28 turtles with radio transmitters in 3 treatments (Control n=10, Windfarm n…

Located at the shortest overland route between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, Mexico's Tehuantepec Isthmus is a globally important migratory corridor for many terrestrial bird species. The Pacific coast of the Isthmus also contains a significant wetland complex that supports large multi-species aggregations of non-breeding waterbirds during the boreal winter. In recent years,…
