Does NIMBY support energy infrastructure?
In recent decades, scholars have extensively examined levels of support and opposition to energy infrastructure, often with a focus on so-called Not-in-My-Backyard (NIMBY) sentiments. As the need for energy infrastructure grows, so does the need to extract insights and lessons from this literature.
Does NIMBYism impede energy projects?
Planetary rhetoric aside, NIMBYism leads to an abdication of local responsibility, and ultimately impedes energy projects even if they reduce carbon emissions, like gas and nuclear. There are two comparatively easy practicable ways to combat this regulatory capture and get local governments and the EPA to approve more energy projects.
Does NIMBYism explain attitudes toward energy infrastructure?
As a consequence, our review of scores of NIMBY studies leaves us unable to reach a firm conclusion, one way or the other, on the role of NIMBYism in explaining attitudes toward energy infrastructure in general, let alone on how this might differ across technologies or specific project characteristics.
Does NIMBYism derail local projects?
NIMBYism does not just derail local projects; it also impedes environmentally friendly national policy. Nevada NIMBYs successfully killed the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste storage project, which would have boosted nuclear power generation decades ago and preempted much of our carbon-related problems.
Are green energy projects a NIMBY challenge?
Americans generally recognize the local and national benefits of these projects, while The US Chamber of Commerce even found that approximately 45% of all NIMBY-related challenges were levied against green energy projects.
What is energy NIMBYism?
Energy NIMBYism traces its origins to the anti-nuclear movements of the 1960s when several communities refused to allow nearby companies to use nuclear power to produce energy.
Mitigating the NIMBY effect on renewable energy: Experimental
Our findings confirm the presence of a NIMBY effect on renewables, with landscape considerations emerging as a key factor. However, targeted communication about climate
NIMBYism Is A Bipartisan Energy Problem

Energy infrastructure, NIMBYism, and public
In recent decades, scholars have extensively examined levels of support and opposition to energy infrastructure, often with a focus on so-called Not-in-My-Backyard (NIMBY) sentiments. As the need for energy
Addressing NIMBY for Renewable Energy Projects
Solar, wind, and battery storage technologies are at the forefront of this transformation, offering cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. However, the development of these projects often encounters
The Economic Costs of NIMBYism: Evidence from
In this study, I estimate the economic costs of NIMBYism and local planning restrictions by examining the case of renewable energy projects. Renewable energy is of particular interest because many countries have committed to
The Economic Costs of NIMBYism: Evidence from
In this paper I estimate the economic costs created by misallocation in the siting of re- newable energy projects. For this I focus on the United Kingdom where I am able to draw on detailed
Renewable Energy Projects: the NIMBY effect
As Helena Schmidt explained, the NIMBY effect refers to an individual opposes a renewable energy infrastructure when this is too close to their living environment or to their home.
