Abstract
A survey on the perception in the Netherlands of 3 options to generate electricity, coal, uranium and wind, has been given. Special attention has been paid to the perception and acceptance of the risks of these options. The questionnaire has been constructed according to a modified Fishbein-model and was completed by 1112 respondents. Attention has been paid to the following questions: what is the distribution of attitudes towards the application of coal, uranium and wind; how are behavioral intentions determined by attitudes and normative influences; what is the relevance of factors like involvement with the subject, the perceived personal effectivity to influence collective decisions to use coal, uranium or wind, the level of information about these energy systems, the ways to obtain this information; are there people who feel threatened by the use of these energy systems; what are the preferences and expectations with respect to the use of energy options in the future; are there differences in risk perception between various population-categories. The presentation of empirical results is preceded by a review of recent literature on perception of (energy) risks and the report concludes with an elaborate discussion of the results and suggestions for energy policy and research.
