Consumer Perceptions of Green vs. Brown Energy
Consumer perceptions of renewable (green) and non-renewable (brown) energy sources are explored in this study conducted with UBC students. The study delves into how consumers view the attributes and qualities of green energy compared to brown energy, examining beliefs and attitudes towards both categories. The research questions aim to uncover differences in consumer perceptions based on the type of energy source and whether the evaluation is done individually or jointly. The findings shed light on biases and misconceptions surrounding green and brown energy choices.
