As part of my research paper “On The Threshold to a New Energy Age”, I carried out a survey in the United States, Japan, Singapore, Portugal and Germany to find out how “prepared” people are for the transition to a new age of generating and consuming energy. Furthermore, the purpose of the survey was to gather opinions on current trends related to energy.
73 people participated in my survey. More than three quarters of them came from the United States.
All questionnaires had been distributed and returned between April 2009 and September 2009.
