EcoAlign announces the latest Project Energy Code report detailing Germany’s experience with solar energy. The report provides a political-economic analysis of Germany’s industrial and energy policy. Why have Germans supported government intervention in the energy industry and why are they willing to pay more for renewable energy? Why does solar energy make sense if Germany is not particularly sunny? Why is the German experience worthy of study?

 

Project Energy Code facilitates a discussion among energy professionals and social scientists about the "green gap" between consumers' stated intentions and purchasing behavior. The reports address social, psychological, emotional and instinctual "codes of behavior" that affect human energy consumption.
