The document summarizes research on public attitudes towards renewable energy technologies in the Eastern Ontario Highlands region. A survey of 175 households across 5 villages found strong initial support for technologies that could lower energy costs and utilize local resources, with solar, biomass from wood, and hydro preferred over wind. While some expressed "not in my backyard" views, the research did not find widespread NIMBYism. Perceptions differed between permanent and seasonal residents. The researchers recommend further workshops to foster positive attitudes and analyze perspectives in more depth.
