Today, great transformation of energy occurs from traditional energies, e.g., fossil energy and nuclear power energy, to new ones, e.g., solar, tidal, and wind energies. Climate change, energy crisis and nuclear accident, e.g., Fukushima nuclear accident, have bring out energy turns around the world. However, there are very few empirical studies about attitude toward energy transformation. Thus, our study aims to explore which factors influence the attitude toward the change from nuclear power energy and renewable energy.
For this end, we analyze the survey data collected Koreans at the individual level. Moreover, the predictors which influence the attitude toward energy turn, include variables such as ax, regulation, equity, and market. A tax increase is needed for the sake of changing the energy structure. Moreover, for the new energy structure, it need decide what regulations government takes a role in. Equity is the matte of resource distribution during energy transformation. Last, the role of market against the public sector must be considered. Moreover, we compare those four factors with psychometric paradigm which includes the variables such perceived risk, perceived benefit, trust, emotion and knowledge.
Our study will contribute to reveal the attitude structure which people hold, related with energy transformation.
