Sich in historischer Perspektive mit Energie zu beschäftigen, ist seit einigen Jahren en vogue. Dies bezeugt eine große Zahl von einschlägigen jüngeren Publikationen.  Hintergrund dafür bildet zweifellos die gegenwärtige gesellschaftliche Diskussion, die im deutschsprachigen Raum unter dem Leitbegriff der "Energiewende" und international unter der weniger radikalen (aber angesichts der langfristigen Wandlungsprozesse inhaltlich vielleicht angemesseneren) Begrifflichkeit des Energieübergangs (transition) geführt wird. Die entsprechenden Debatten haben mit der Reaktorkatastrophe im japanischen Fukushima im Frühling  deutlich an gesellschaftlichem Stellenwert gewonnen und in einigen Ländern auch zu politischen Kurskorrekturen geführt und Reformprogramme befördert und beschleunigt.

The use of energy from wind has a multi-faceted relationship to visibility. Between 1973 and 1991, various actors in the West German environmental movement made assertions about the visibility of renewable sources of power, but wind energy took on a particular prominence. In this article, the question of how different actors have used knowledge and the materiality of wind turbines for competing purposes is explored. Environmentalists attempted to create visible signs of a valid alternative energy future by tinkering with small, decentralized wind turbines, while the Federal Republic of Germany's Ministry of Research and established energy providers used the failure of the statesubsidized large-scale wind-energy project GROWIAN to criticize renewables and brand their application as misguided. In both cases, actors created new wind energy visibilities to convey their conflicting interests-pitting those advocating a new, environmentally friendly energy system against those who sought consolidation of the large-scale fossil-nuclear energy system.
