Prospects for Alternative Energy Development in the U.S. West

Exploring the relationship between individual attributes and attitudes toward alternative energy technologies, this book examines how values, interests, knowledge, and demographics influence support or opposition to renewable initiatives like wind and solar power. It highlights the surprising resistance from expected supporters, such as environmentalists, and argues for the importance of identifying these attributes. By understanding these factors, the book aims to inform strategies that promote informed and effective siting of alternative energy projects.
