| Summary: | "Projections about oil depletion, the surging global demand for power, and the need to manage climate change combine to cultivate imaginaries in the form of energy regions. For governments and corporations, some change needs to occur, whether technological innovations or geopolitical realignments, to fix the present energy condition and ensure that markets are securely supplied. Shifting from decentralized technologies to incorporation into the design of landscapes, cities, and regions, the design challenges of renewable energies have been recast into discourses that celebrate the sustainability of productive regionalism. Such projects bring to the forefront questions of the "politics of sharing" embodied in landscapes of production, particularly as these visions often extend beyond the boundaries of the nation-state to define new regions." |
