Winds of Displacement

Have you ever wanted to learn more about the dark side of green energy? Are you interested in why certain demographics and their lands are targeted over others as sites for wind farms? Have you wondered about the direct impacts that wind turbines have on the environment and the communities in which they are installed? In this documentary-style podcast, two Deerfield Academy students delve into the impacts that wind turbines have on the Quilombola population in the Caetite region of Brazil. 

 If you’re interested in learning more about how rural Brazilian communities have been impacted by Brazil’s push to convert to green energy, we suggest you check out this site
