Abstract

Highlights:
Positivity is no different for residents across wind energy development models;
Positivity is highly variable by case, requiring nuanced interpretation;
Distributive and procedural justice variables are significant, but inconsistent;
Aesthetics and links to climate change mitigation are the strongest predictors;
Community-based wind energy garners positivity when developer control is limited.
