Social acceptance of renewable energy sources: A review of contingent valuation applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a literature review addressing the public acceptance of renewable energy as a replacement for fossil fuels in electricity production and identify the parameters that influence consumers' energy behavior, together with their interest, or lack thereof, in the environmental impact of using fossil fuels to produce energy and their willingness to reduce it.

Sustainable energy planning by using multi-criteria analysis application in the island of Crete
TL;DR: This paper exploits the multi-criteria methodology for the sustainable energy planning on the island of Crete in Greece, providing them the possibility of creating classifications of alternative sustainable energy alternatives.

Assessing the determinants of local acceptability of wind-farm investment: A choice experiment in the Greek Aegean Islands
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse the factors that motivate communities to resist the installation of wind farms in their vicinity and find that conservation status of the area where the wind farms are to be installed, along with the governance characteristics of the planning procedure are the most important determinants of local community welfare in relation to wind farms.

Effective education for energy efficiency
TL;DR: The results of an energy-thrift information and education project taking place in different levels of education in Crete-Greece, which records 321 students' and their parents' routine energy-related behavior and proves that this behavior changes to a more energy efficient one, after the dissemination of relevant information and the participation into the energy education projects as discussed by the authors.

The likely adverse environmental impacts of renewable energy sources
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the environmental impacts of major renewable energy sources and come up with the broad conclusion that renewable energies are not the panacea they are popularly perceived to be; indeed in some cases their adverse environmental impacts can be as strongly negative as the impacts of conventional energy sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable Energy Development
TL;DR: The potential for the efficiency improvement is generally underestimated as mentioned in this paper and most of the energy conversion systems consider efficiency improvement as a separate process and their analysis reflects only the potential improvement of the process but not the potential for efficiency improvement obtained by an exergy analysis of the system.

On the sustainability of future energy systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a fuzzy logic based assessment method is presented for energy conversion technologies taking into account entire environmental aspects, which can be used as a decision tool to evaluate a technology using renewable energy carriers.
