Factors influencing the electricity generation preferences of Turkish citizens: Citizens' attitudes and policy recommendations in the context of climate change and environmental impact

Findings of the study indicate that a vast majority of Turkish citizens are against the establishment of NPPs in the country. The first choice in electricity generation is RES. RES endorsers state that RES-based power plants will result in no environmental problems and that they are willing to pay more for electricity in case of an increasing reliance on RES-based electricity generation. A vast majority of the respondents think that the prime consideration in electricity generation should be its effects on climate change.
