We have an extended feature interview where I speak to\u00a0the visionary and utterly inspirational Scott Willis who is Project Manager at Blueskin Energy Ltd<\/a><\/strong>, a\u00a0community wind farm project in Blueskin Bay, Dunedin, New Zealand. Scott is\u00a0also manager of the Blueskin Resilient Communities Trust<\/a><\/strong>. This in-depth interview covers the history and scope of the Dunedin wind project, the current state of wind, renewables politics, and industry\u00a0in New Zealand, challenges faced by\u00a0community based projects such as this, the importance of meaningful community consultation &\u00a0increasing energy literacy, other environmental considerations effecting wind projects, and his\u00a0vision that goes way beyond mere clean energy production!<\/p>\n
