Nuclear power threats, public opposition and Green Electricity adoption: Effects of threat belief appraisal and fear arousal
Energy Policy, 2013Co-Authors: Patrick Hartmann, Vanessa Apaolaza, Clare D'souza, Carmen Echebarria, Jose M. BarrutiaAbstract:This study analyses the extent to which willingness to oppose nuclear power and intention to adopt Green Electricity are related to the cognitive and emotional appraisal of threats deriving from nuclear power. The analysis draws on a theoretical framework which introduces emotional fear arousal as a direct behavioural antecedent of coping behaviour into a model based on cognitive centred Protection Motivation Theory (PMT, Maddux and Rogers, 1983; Rogers, 1983) and the Extended Parallel Processing Model (EPPM, Witte, 1992, 1998). Hypothesized relations are tested in a nationally representative online study conducted in April and May 2012, one year after the Fukushima accident. Results support the hypothesized influences of perceived threat, fear arousal and perceived coping efficacy. Support for the proposed effects of fear control is rather limited. Findings contribute to extending previous knowledge on the role of cognitive and emotional appraisal processes induced by awareness of threats from nuclear power as behavioural antecedents of both opposing nuclear power and adopting Green Electricity. Findings of the study have implications for nuclear power policy and activism, as well as for institutional and commercial promoters of voluntary residential Green Electricity adoption.

Review of Green Electricity products in the United Kingdom, Germany and Finland
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2015Co-Authors: Aira Hast, Sanna Syri, Juuso Jokiniemi, Maija Huuskonen, Sam CrossAbstract:In liberalized Electricity markets, environmental aspects are often used in marketing in addition to price competition and a wide variety of Green Electricity products marketed as environmentally friendly is available for customers. We study these Green Electricity markets in the UK, Germany and Finland and discuss possible problems between voluntary markets and renewable energy policies in particular.

We study these Green Electricity markets in the UK, Germany and Finland and discuss possible problems between voluntary markets and renewable energy policies in particular. We find that products are claimed to support new renewable capacity building and to offer other environmental benefits through different kinds of mechanisms. Demand is relative high in Germany but has remained modest in the UK. In Finland, many passive private customers have automatically been sold Green Electricity products. Price premiums depend on several factors but typically they are in the range of 0–5%. The interface between voluntary markets and renewable energy policies can create problems; in the UK there are concerns that some suppliers double count renewable energy so that they assign the already required renewable energy to Green tariff customers. We found that the share of imported hydropower is very large in Green Electricity products in Germany, which is why real additional benefits can be small. In Finland Green Electricity usually originates from hydro and wind power. As hydropower capacity is large in the Nordic countries, the additional impacts on new capacity can remain modest. For consumers, being a shareholder in companies devoted only to building new capacity, and products where price premiums are transparently directed to specific funds, carry the least risk of buying Green products with false expectations.
