Presently, on-land wind turbine densities are increasing in many countries and with an expected rise in local resistance. However, despite that the “crowding” of wind turbines in especially the urban fringe and in more densely populated rural areas, few studies have to date analysed the...

Generally people are more positive towards offshore wind farms compared to on-land wind farms. However, the attitudes are commonly assumed to be independent of experience with wind farms. Important relations between attitude and experience might therefore be disregarded. The present paper gives...

An increasing number of studies suggest that the cumulative impacts of wind turbine encounters might have a negative impact on the acceptance of onshore wind power development. In many countries offshore wind resources are seen as the new wind energy resource, though the offshore cost of energy...

Wind energy installed capacity has been increasing steadily all over the world and is expected to continue to do so in the future, following lowering costs of technology as well as increased renewable energy goals by governments. Nonetheless, public opposition has been increasing, and the...

As energy demands for clean energy mount to meet international and national climate goals, there remains constant tension in the trade-off for where to siting large-scale offshore wind farms. Using data from a choice experiment (CE) to elicit preferences for large-scale, 3600 megawatts (MW) of...

Based on a Danish survey including respondents with on-shore viewshed experience and different degrees of off-shore viewshed experiences, it is estimated how the different types of wind power experience influence the preferences for extend wind power, biomass energy and solar energy should be...
