“…This one-dimensional planning perspective still remains the dominant approach in Dutch infrastructure planning. It includes easy assumptions about the motives of all potential opponents: residents merely 'protecting their 'turf'', exclusively focusing on their 'backyard', instead of being motivated by place identity (Devine-Wright, 2009;Van der Horst, 2007), and community commitment (Wolsink and Devilee, 2009). In line with this planners' perspective, the most important societal stakeholders were not included in the planning process, but this case study demonstrates once again the consequences of planning the wind farm top-down and centralized.…”

“…hydroelectric, wind, solar) but a burgeoning literature now attests to discrepancy that often exists between general attitudes towards a technology and attitudes towards specific projects (e.g. Jones and Eiser, 2009;Krohn and Damborg, 1999;van der Horst, 2007).…”

Energy Policy, 41, 451-465.Assessing the impact of framing on the comparative favourability of nuclear power as an electricity generating option in the UK. showed an apparent increase in the endorsement of nuclear following climate change 'framing'. > Studies 2 and 3 contradict this finding, suggesting that 'framing' had a limited direct effect on preferences for nuclear power. 3 AbstractIn 2007 the UK government's public consultation on the future of nuclear power courted much criticism. Three studies were conducted to assess whether key arguments used by government within this consultation might have influenced public opinion about the technology. Participants first read a passage of text which made salient certain positive (climate change mitigation, increased energy security) or negative (nuclear waste) aspects of the nuclear debate. Participants then completed a task that required them to create an electricity mix for the UK by varying the contributions made by each of five energy sources (coal, gas, nuclear, renewables and electric import). Study 1 seemed to indicate that pitching the debate in terms of climate change mitigation was effective in increasing endorsement of nuclear power.The results of studies 2 and 3, however, contested this conclusion suggesting that these arguments were having little direct impact upon participants' preferences for nuclear power. The results of these studies hold implications for UK energy policy and attitude assessment and can contribute to the understanding of how the arguments used by government in the 2007 consultation might have influenced public opinion. Running HeadThe impact of framing on the favourability of nuclear power.

“…In recent years a body of work exploring the relevance of the concept for explaining opposition specifically to RETs has developed (Bell et al 2005;Kempton et al 2005;Wolsink 2000;2012;Haggett 2010;Devine-Wright 2011;Van der Horst 2007). In common with the wider literature, there is an emerging consensus that NIMBYism is an inaccurate and unhelpful way of characterizing opposition to siting.…”
