Public opinion

How popular is wind energy?

Wind energy is one of the most popular energy technologies. Opinion surveys regularly show that just over eight out of ten people are in favour of wind energy, and less than one in ten (around 5%) are against it. The rest are undecided.

Some residents may be apprehensive about any proposed local wind developments. When accurate information and knowledge is made available, experience shows that the initial concerns are reduced and support for wind farm schemes increases.
