Stoutenborough, Assistant Professor at University of Alabama Huntsville and former ISTPP Postdoctoral Research Associate, along with Sturgess, ISTPP Student Worker and Political Science Undergraduate Student, and Vedlitz, ISTPP Director, have recently published in Energy Policy. In this article, the authors examine how knowledge, risk perceptions, and attitudinal measures affect the public’s support for nuclear energy policy. By using several risk and attitudinal measures, the researchers provide a detailed look at the connection between policy and risk. This paper is based on results from ISTPP’s National Public Energy Survey.
