Why cant we build more wind farms?
In rural North East Spain, proposals to build hundreds of new wind turbines have sparked opposition and divided communities. \n \nAnd it isn\u2019t only Spain. There has been resistance to wind power projects across the world from Mexico to the US. Opposition groups have succeeded in delaying, and sometimes cancelling, the construction of new wind farms. \n \nTo move away from fossil fuels, we will need a huge expansion in renewables. But will wind power be able to meet this challenge in the face of local opposition around the world?
