Abstract
This is a study of wind power and ecotourism in Møre and Romsdal. Wind power seen as renewable and “clean” energy production while ecotourism is defined as sustainable travel. Ecotourism is a relatively new concept in Norway while wind power has been the subject of many debates and heated discussions. Arguments and views from different interested parties form the basis for this study. My objective is to explore how two different approaches to sustainable development can potentially conflict in a way that harms the local inhabitants and the local environment. Also, one of my objectives is to show how a development alternative might not be sustainable in practice in a particular place.
