Understanding public perceptions of wood-based electricity production in Wisconsin, United States: the place-based dynamics of social representations

The research examines public responses to wood-based electricity production in Wisconsin, arguing that support for renewable energy is not a simple binary of acceptance or non-acceptance but is instead influenced by socio-spatial contexts, community histories, and identities.

• Public responses to wood-based electricity production in Wisconsin are influenced by social and cultural contexts, specifically varying based on community histories and identities that have been shaped by other local resources.
• The study suggests that the common binary framework of 'acceptance and non-acceptance' is insufficient for capturing the complexities of how local populations respond to specific renewable energy projects.
