Table 1 Acceptance items presented in group 1 (after the graphs) and group 2 (before the graphs)

From: Fluctuations in the wind energy supply do not impair acceptance of wind farms

1

In my opinion, the advantages of wind energy dominate over disadvantages

2

Wind energy should make a significant contribution to securing energy supply

3

I would agree to new nearshore wind farms being built

4

I would agree to new wind farms being built in my region

5

I would agree to new wind farms being built in my neighbourhood

6

I would agree to a new wind farm (with more than 15 turbines) being built 5 kms away from my house

7

Despite the fluctuation in the amount of produced wind power, wind energy can make a significant contribution to securing energy supply

8

Because of the fluctuation in the amount of produced wind power, wind energy is not worthwhile for securing the energy supply

9

The fluctuation in the produced wind power is problematic for the wind energy supply
