Wind energy is often portrayed as a panacea for the environmental and political ills brought on by an overreliance on fossil fuels, but this characterization may ignore the impact wind farms have on the regions that host them. Power Struggles investigates the uneven allocation of risks and benefits in the relationship between the regions that produce this energy and those that consume it. Jaume Franquesa considers Spain, a country where wind now constitutes the main source of energy production. In particular, he looks at the Southern Catalonia region, which has traditionally been a source of energy production through nuclear reactors, dams, oil refineries, and gas and electrical lines. Despite providing energy that runs the country, the region is still forced to the political and economic periphery as the power they produce is controlled by centralized, international Spanish corporations. Local resistance to wind farm installation in Southern Catalonia relies on the notion of dignity: the ability to live within one's means and according to one's own decisions. Power Struggles shows how, without careful attention, renewable energy production can reinforce patterns of exploitation even as it promises a fair and hopeful future.

Una nova aventura del detectiu Flanagan! La Clara Longo, que va ser la primera nòvia del Flanagan, ha sigut detinguda per la policia a causa de la seva vinculació amb una banda que comercia amb objectes robats. Quan ell se n'assabenta, preocupat per la seva situació actual, decideix contactar amb ella, que ara viu a casa dels seus oncles. Al cap de dos dies de la seva primera trobada, el Flanagan rep una trucada de la policia: han assassinat la Margot, la tieta de la Clara, i la jove està retinguda com a imputada. Convençut de la seva innocència i ajudat per la Nines i el Xarxe, el Flanagan s'introdueix en un assumpte tèrbol i es converteix en l'únic que pot salvar la vida del seu primer amor.
