ecological endowments will increase. 113 As available sites become scarcer,
the impetus to build wind farms on socially and ecologically sensitive areas
will also increase. 114 However, by developing and overseeing improved
standards for managing threats to social and ecological endowments, poli-
cymakers can play a role in ensuring that the beneits derived from wind
energy are not realized at the expense of a community's natural habitat.
