The purpose of this study is to analyze what factors influence the acceptance level of enery policy. We will focus on four factors: psychometric paradigm, political & economy, environmentalism and climate change. Frist, psychometric paradigm mainly confers to the level of risk perception related with risk issues, such as nuclear power energy. This factor focused on variables such as ‘perceived benefits, perceived risk and knowledge’. We want to analyze how those three variables influence the acceptance level of energy policy. Second, we analyze how one’s political economy factors have impact on acceptance of energy policies. We choose 'ideology, social class recognition, energy security' among political variables and 'income level and electricity price' among economic variables.Third, we examine how environmentalism and climate change influence the acceptance of energy policy. 'environmentalism' is he degree of importance of the environment felt by the individual and 'climate change' is the perception of problem recognition about global warming. These studies will help to understand what factors influence acceptance of energy policies. Moreover, we will give good implication for government’s energy policy.
