Abstract
Securing green energy is an important issue for building a sustainable society. In particular, wind power generation has been introduced as an environmentally friendly renewable energy source, but there are many problems, such as the destruction of nature in the region depending on the location and scale of installation, and there are also many cases of disputes among the local communities. In Aomori, a wind power development project had been underway, but was halted due to opposition from the local community. The wind power development project in Aomori was expected to have various merits, such as supplying electricity to the region and creating local employment, but it was opposed by many people concerned because it had no small number of demerits. We interviewed two people who participated in the opposition movement. The Michinoku wind power project was problematic because not only the local residents but also politicians were not fully aware of the current situation and problems. In order to prevent such serious state of affairs, it is important to create a local system to evaluate nature development projects and to educate people about the importance of local nature.
