Since 2009 a transdisciplinary team of eight scientists have studied the acceptance and impact of the introduction of renewable energy in four German communities and countries: Morbach, Wolpertshausen, Schwäbisch-Hall and Lüchow-Dannenberg. The aim is to ascertain, if local and regional governments can become entirely powered by renewable energy, and explore how the transition – the Energiewende – can remain a socially just and eco-friendly process. In October the project presented its results at a workshop in Morbach.
