Abstract

Some of the principal arguments in the debate about environmental
citizenship are examined with reference to the development of hydrogen
energy systems. In particular, qualitative evidence is drawn from a study of
public attitudes towards hydrogen energy technologies and their perceived
risks and benefits. Using data from focus groups in three areas of the UK, it
is argued that while there is awareness of the importance of energy issues,
opinions about innovation using hydrogen are generally neutral, and there
is little indication of the collective and solidaristic values said to
characterise environmental citizenship.
