主讲人简介：

伊丽莎白·威尔逊博士是美国明尼苏达大学汉弗莱公共事务学院助理教授，主要从事能源、环境相关政策与法律的研究。最近，她获得了2008-2010年度麦克奈特讲席教授称号（McKnight Land-Grant Professor）。2009-2010年期间在中国北京清华大学作为客座教授进行学术访问研究。

威尔逊博士主要致力于低碳能源管理系统发展政策、制度等方面的研究。目前，她在国家科学基金会（NSF)项目支持下，研究美国各州如何规划和考虑新兴能源技术的发展。她近期的工作受到多丽丝公爵慈善基金会下碳捕获和存储（Carbon Capture and Storage）监管项目的资助。该项目旨在更好地发展和部署碳捕获和封存技术的管理和法律框架。

在美国明尼苏达大学工作之前，伊丽莎白·威尔逊教授曾在美国环境保护局工作。之前也曾在比利时、布隆迪和坦桑尼亚等国家工作。她拥有卡内基梅隆大学工程和公共政策博士学位和比利时布鲁塞尔大学人类生态学硕士学位。

Dr. Elizabeth J. Wilson is an Assistant Professor of Energy and Environmental Policy and Law at the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota. She was recently named a McKnight Land-Grant Professor for 2008-2010 and is spending the 2009-2010 academic year as a visiting professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing. Her research examines policies and institutions that support the development of carbon-managed energy systems. Her current NSF-sponsored project examines how different U.S. states view emerging energy technologies.  Recent work sponsored by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation with the CCSReg project aims to better develop the regulatory and legal framework for deploying carbon capture and sequestration technologies.

Prior to joining the University of Minnesota she worked with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and before that Wilson worked in Belgium, Burundi and Tanzania. She holds a doctorate in Engineering and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University and masters in Human Ecology from the Free University of Brussels in Belgium.

讲座内容简介：

随着美国政府在减少温室气体排放方面倾入越来越多的重视，低碳技术—例如风能，在部署过程中既面临机遇，也面临阻碍。本讲座将介绍一个基于在州政府环境下风力发电的部署研究。通过四个州（马萨诸塞州、明尼苏达州、蒙大拿州、得克萨斯州)的案例研究，介绍了利益相关者是如何理解和认知风能的。通过半结构式访谈，州能源政策利益相关者阐述了他们对各自州内风能技术的看法和理解。作者对访谈内容进行了再编码，以便更好地理解在州级环境下，各种驱动因素如何促进或阻碍风能发展的部署。

通过对四个案例的研究，威尔逊教授发现，各种驱动因素主要集中于技术、政治和经济维度中，而在有关环境、美学、健康、安全等维度的内容则很少出现。在研究具体访谈内容之后，作者发现每个州是通过不同的政治、经济和技术路径达到了其目前的技术部署水平。被访谈人的回答除了帮助解释在每个案例研究中风能技术是否进行部署的原因，及其如何部署，还提供了一个非常有价值的研究视角—不同地方政府对低碳技术部署的理解和行动。

As national U.S. attention focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, low-carbon technologies—such as wind power—encounter both opportunities and barriers en route to deployment. This paper provides a state-level context for examining wind power deployment and presents research on how policy stakeholders perceive wind energy in four states: Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, and Texas. Through semi-structured interviews, state-level energy policy stakeholders were asked to explain their perceptions of wind energy technology within their state. Their responses were then coded to better understand how various drivers promote or hinder the deployment of wind energy in state-specific contexts. Across all of the states, responses were dominated by technical, political, and economic frames, with environmental, aesthetic, and health/safety frames appearing less often in the discourse. In examining the specific responses however, we find that each state arrived at their current level of deployment via very different political, economic, and technical paths. In addition to helping explain why and how wind technology was—or was not—deployed in each of the case study states, these findings provide insight into the very different sub-national dialogues on deployment of low-carbon technologies.
