    No NIMBY, or:

    How I learned to stop worrying and love the wind turbine

    Henrik Karlstrm Norwegian University of Science and Technology 4S annual meeting, Copenhagen 2012

    NIMBY
    Yes in theory, no in practice Points to hypocrisy
    Selfishness?

    Other opposition
    Knowledge deficit Post-materialism

    Important: people are generally in favour!

    NIMBYism
    Convenient fig leaf?
    Useful for politicians and policy makers

    Little or no empirical support Moral judgments


    People are selfish

    What do we know?
    Local resistance not always local Various reasons for resistance
    Nature degradation Cost

    Its politics, stupid


    Party affiliation Industry? Environment? Jobs?

    When is it successful?

    Designing consent?
    Social engineering Is it our job?
    And can we do it at all?

    Perhaps more participation, less framing


    But everything has a framing anyway...

    Thank You!
