The energy transition has begun. To succeed - to replace fossil fuels with wind and solar power - that process must be fair. Otherwise, mounting popular protest against wind farms will prolong carbon pollution and deepen the climate crisis. David Hughes examines that anti-industrial, anti-corporate resistance, drawing insights from a Spanish village surrounded by turbines. In the lives of these neighbours - freighted with centuries of exploitation - clean power and social justice fit together only awkwardly. Proposals for a green economy, the Green New Deal, or Europe's Green Deal require more effort. We must rethink aesthetics, livelihood, property, and, most essentially, the private nature of wind resources. Ultimately, the energy transition will be public and just, or it may not be at all

This Nitty-Gritty biography "Father Father" by Leonard I Mullins; is a Somber-Simmering true story of the author's chequered life as a born Heller. His life, and incubator of poisonous drugs and mischief brewing-speaks of the sap of life in a Spanish-Harlem Ghetto in New York during the 1950's Cast in the language of allegory-simile and metaphor. This true story speaks of the author's undetected hunger for a father he barely knew, and introduces him to his familial history-one channeled within a tangled skein of inter-racial/filial-love-betrayal-hatred and murder. Yet an invisible providential thread runs like a pulsating artery beneath the underlying current of his then drooped and shambled life, which would ultimately be transformed. Follow his travels with Little Richard-his teaching of Astrology at C.S.U. Victory over Cancer... But most of all his introduction to two fathers... one biological-the other transcendent. This book will lift you off of your hinges and may take you where you did not plan to go truly an "eye brow lifter"
