Community Impacts of Energy Development Webinar Series
“People became so polarised... like if you were an undecided, you just about couldn't hang out with an anti or a pro, because you felt like you were constantly being hammered... and you
know, if you went to a BBQ or something, the room was divided... literally.”

Wind energy in King Island
This presentation is based on the following work:
Colvin, RM, Witt, GB & Lacey, J 2016, 'How wind became a four-letter word: Lessons for community engagement from a wind energy conflict in King Island, Australia', Energy Policy, vol. 98, pp. 483-494.
Results: National quantitative model– Residence in mining-dependent county or oil- or natural gas-producing
county as important as sociodemographics
Results: Qualitative community research– Role of economic dependence (e.g. Boudet et al. 2016; Freudenburg 1992)
– Feeling that structural vulnerabilities are exasperated by push toward renewable energy
– Role of culture & identity (e.g. Bell and York 2010; Dampier et al. 2014; Evans and
Phelan 2016; Ceresola and Crowe 2015)
Future research: ‘Just transitions’– How can proponents of the clean energy transition better incorporate fossil
fuels communities being left behind?
– "the costs of environmental change will be shared fairly” (Canadian Labour Congress 2000: 3)
