Abstract
Remote and marginal areas with scarce and vulnerable populations are 'comfortable' settings and suitable places for the development of new extractive activities for energy production. Fracking and modern windmills are often controversial activities in marginal areas for native and local populations, with varying political positions from local elites. The new scalar policies associated with the energy project introduce some of the resistance strategies in the form of more than human geographies or hybrid spatial relationships that characterize recent human geography. This paper explores and suggests possible ways of integrating local interests with regional or national policies based on the 'health' of marginal populations, marginal rather than human materiality's and marginal more-than-human. Keywords: materiality; place; spatial transitions; more-than-human; geography
