Today, we talk with Prof. Maarten Wolsink, who has studied acceptance issues in infrastructure projects, especially renewable energy, for decades. He tells us what's wrong with calling people NIMBY. We briefly return to Rhein-Hunrück to speak with Frank-Michael Uhle about why acceptance was so high there before turning to Marie Leer Jorgensen, who just finished her PhD on Denmark's three policies to increase acceptance. They have been copied in other EU countries, but she problematizes the whole issue. And finally, Craig tells us what he means by "identification instead of acceptance."
