The current awareness of climate change and its consequences has motivated international institutions and states to make sustainable development a central goal, promoting a process of energy transition towards low-carbon economies. This process entails an increase in the share of renewables in the energy mix, with wind power currently being the renewable source that produces the most energy, and whose growth is accelerating, both nationally and globally. The development of the associated infrastructures, many often in rural areas, has been seen either as a blessing or a curse, sometimes conceived as a historic opportunity to boost economic growth and employment, and sometimes as a threat that prevents future alternative developments.
