EC1 3.a - Power Generation

This section report considers attitudes towards different aspects of power generation - specifically to do with coal, nuclear power and the 'Repower America' campaign. It also considers the associations, and emotional attachments, that people have towards coal. Despite the danger that coal poses for the climate, it seems to provide a warm, homely feel - for example, it is used in the branding of a new restaurant chain in England, and in homely North American press advertising.

Quotes:

"For many, coal has positive associations and evokes pleasant feelings ..."
