Wind Energy

Wind Energy

The wind energy survey was designed by the Tourism Research Centre at the University of Prince Edward Island. It was distributed to both Island residents and visitors in a paper or web based format generating a total of 1,676 useable responses. In total, 363 of these were from residents, 1,313 from visitors. The survey was implemented to capture perceptions of wind energy production and wind farms, and their perceived effects on the landscape. Do wind farms "fit" with "The Gentle Island" brand for visitors, and support the attempt to label PEI as a "Green Province?" In addition, the survey was structured to compare perceptions of renewable and non-renewable energy generation methods. Finally, is there support for further expansion of wind farms on PEI?
