Abstract As the role that the society plays in energy and use of resources is of importance, what is vital is early education, as it is one of the pillars significantly influencing the planning of a “cleaner future” energywise, especially through utilizing energy-specific education techniques. Up to this point, it has been suggested that younger students tend to describe Renewable Energy Sources (RES) as ‘Clean’ rather than ‘Green’, while their selection in the color that best describes them is Yellow or White rather than Green. On the subject of redefining RES, a total of 2217 face-to-face interviews are conducted in schools in three countries in the Baltics and Eastern Europe countries, i.e. Latvia, Lithuania, and Romania, in order to further contribute to the discussion of which term -‘Clean Energy’ or ‘Green Energy’- is the term of choice for students of younger age with no or less formal education and experience on the subject of best naming RES. As far as the color to best represent RES is concerned, younger students tend to choose Yellow or White instead of Green, a choice that shifts to Green in higher grades. The results, with the exception of Lithuania where older students chose the term ‘Clean Energy’ as well, confirm those of previous studies in Greece and Bulgaria, enhancing the importance of the elicitation of such preferences in order for energy issues to become part of the educational system of all levels. As Clean and Yellow or White are the terms of choice for naming and describing RES according to young students, it is imperative that the scientific community reconsiders and adjusts said preferences in education and research, for the better -future- implementation of renewable energy practices and use of resources.

清洁与绿色:重新定义可再生能源。来自拉脱维亚、立陶宛和罗马尼亚的证据

摘要 由于社会在能源和资源利用方面的作用很重要,因此早期教育至关重要,因为它是显着影响“更清洁未来”能源规​​划的支柱之一,特别是通过利用特定能源教育技术。到目前为止,有人建议年轻的学生倾向于将可再生能源 (RES) 描述为“清洁”而不是“绿色”,而他们选择的最能描述它们的颜色是黄色或白色而不是绿色。关于重新定义RES这一主题,在波罗的海和东欧国家拉脱维亚、立陶宛和罗马尼亚三个国家的学校共进行了2217次面对面访谈,为了进一步促进关于“清洁能源”或“绿色能源”哪个术语的讨论,对于在最佳命名 RES 主题上没有或较少受过正规教育和经验的年轻学生来说,哪个术语是首选术语。就最能代表 RES 的颜色而言,低年级学生倾向于选择黄色或白色而不是绿色,这种选择在较高年级时会转向绿色。结果,除了立陶宛的年龄较大的学生也选择了“清洁能源”一词外,这些结果证实了之前在希腊和保加利亚进行的研究的结果,增强了引出此类偏好的重要性,以便能源问题成为能源问题的一部分各级教育体系。因为根据年轻学生的说法,清洁和黄色或白色是命名和描述 RES 的首选术语,
