Dear Sir or Madam,
As part of a project investigating the choices facing Scotland relating to electricity generation, the University of Stirling is conducting a survey on the public's preferences for alternative technologies.
The Scottish Government has set an ambitious target to generate 100% of electricity from renewable sources by 2020. As well as meeting self-imposed targets, Scotland's two remaining nuclear power plants will reach the end of their intended lifetimes by 2016 and 2023 respectively. Scotland's energy policy is therefore at a crossroads, which will result in long-term commitments.
I would very much appreciate if you are able to complete this survey, no matter your previous experience with the topic. Each additional response increases the confidence which can be expressed in the results of the survey so every response is of great value.
If you have any questions about the survey or the project please contact Neil Odam at the University of Stirling by email at
N.J.Odam@stir.ac.uk or through my
University contact page .
In order to make the survey as short and quick as possible only essential details are included here. Detailed information is available online at
www.electricitysurvey.com. Results will be posted on the website at the end of July 2011. Privacy is taken very seriously; responses will be used only for this research project and no personally identifiable information will be published.
The survey should take approximately 8 minutes.
As a small token of my appreciation, each respondent is invited to enter a £100 prize draw at the end of the survey.
