چکیده
The findings presented in this briefing are preliminary interim results from a series of deliberative workshops undertaken with members of the public across six UK locations (see endnote) during the period June – October 2011. The early analysis presented here not only provides an indication of key areas of public acceptability and unacceptability relating to whole energy system change but also offers insights into the factors that mediate and underpin views on transitions. Understanding the connections, associations and contextual issues that underlay public perspectives offers an important means for thinking through potential difficulties and opportunities in achieving major system change.
