Part 2/9:
Emma Webb, a farmer located just outside Yas, spoke out earlier this week about the community’s fears. Describing themselves as “collateral damage farmers,” Webb and others argue that multinational corporations are exploiting their land under the guise of promoting clean energy. Webb emphasized that their community feels like mere “exploited collateral,” with many residents worried that the turbines will erode property values and disrupt their traditional way of life. While some landowners may be compensated financially, Webb notes that the broader community bears the brunt of environmental and aesthetic damage, with little say in the process.
