A Green New Deal without growth? (2021, background): “Second, that if it were to be watered down (the way that the European Green Deal has been, for instance) it might just result in new rounds of primitive accumulation and commodification of nature (McCarthy, 2015).”
“Fixing” Climate Change by Mortgaging the Future: Negative Emissions, Spatiotemporal Fixes, and the Political Economy of Delay (2019, unknown): “McCarthy (2015) for example analyses large-scale renewable energy development as socioecological ﬁ x and notes how the barriers to pro ﬁ tability emerge not just from rising temperatures but from growing activism and, following Wainwright and Mann (2013), a looming crisis of legitimacy.”
New energy spaces: Towards a geographical political economy of energy transition (2020, background): “However, existing applications of geographical political economy to themes associated with energy transition illustrate its considerable potential as an approach (e.g. Cumbers, 2013; Dawley, 2014; McCarthy, 2015; Knuth et al., 2019).”
Renewable energy for sustainable rural development: Synergies and mismatches (2020, background): “As argued by McCarthy (2015, 2495) a large-scale transition towards RE sources may serve as a ‘socioecological fix’ to the crises tendencies, providing both opportunities for reinvigorating capital accumulation (often large-scale, long-term investments in technological installations and…”
