Abstract

The sounds of renewable energy technologies are vibrating across north east coastal communities. They mingle with government and industry stories of hope. Those same sounds also mingle with a lively local hope rooted in proud worker histories, persistent culture, and emotional memories of deindustrialisation. Hope is contingent. Hope differs. Hope is political. Who get to speak hope? Whose hope is listened to? Whose hope matters? What does hope ‘here’ mean for hope ‘over there’? How do we craft an ‘art of attentiveness’ to the diversity of not only energy technologies but hoped-for futures?
