Abstract:

While wind energy may be subject to protection in monument care on one hand, wind energy and monument care are two spheres on a scale of various conflicts on the other hand [1]. This study strives to capture the two underlying elements of the relationships between wind energy and monument care. It is written from the perspective of Central Europe or the entire European geographic area, where the traditional cultural landscape prevails with few exceptions. The study has two levels from the chronological perspective. The first developmental stage in wind energy ends with direct interconnection of renewable resource development with the effort to influence the ongoing climate change. During this first stage, wind energy development is legitimised by the spirit of experimenting technical progress and the core ideas of environmentalism; this arises from the protectionist view of nature and natural resources as scarce resources, from the distrust of clamorous consumerist of the modern society, and from the idea of economical harmony with nature as the way forward. The concept of sustainability arising from the Club of Rome is an umbrella term encompassing all these. The second, current stage of wind energy development is far more radical. On one hand, the moral ethos of the traditional environmentalism, i.e. in particular criticism of consumerism and the idea of moderate harmony with nature as a societal ideal, disappears from the ideological principles of wind energy and other renewable resources.
