This year, people's views on energy issues have been strongly influenced by the painful increase in energy prices and issues related to security of supply, which are also reflected in the results of the survey,\" said Mihkel Loide, Communications Manager at Fermi Energia.<\/p>\n<p>Kantar Emor conducts the survey, commissioned by Fermi Energia, twice a year, and in addition to considering the establishment of a small-scale electricity sector, it also asks respondents about their preferences for the development of electricity generation in the light of the reduction of shale-based electricity production. The most favoured types of CO2-free generation are wind (62%), solar (58%) and a new generation of small nuclear power plants (55%). The use of shale fuels is clearly less favoured, with 26% in favour of developing shale electricity generation alongside oil production, 15% in favour of using wood chips and 12% in favour of burning natural gas.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6670 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/fermi.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/toetus-liik-22-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fermi.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/toetus-liik-22-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/fermi.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/toetus-liik-22-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/fermi.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/toetus-liik-22-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/fermi.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/toetus-liik-22-1536x865.png 1536w, https:\/\/fermi.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/toetus-liik-22-2048x1153.png 2048w, https:\/\/fermi.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/toetus-liik-22-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This year's survey also asked whether the outbreak of war in Ukraine had an impact on attitudes towards the construction of small reactors in Estonia.
