This research investigates the differences in awareness and preference of racial groups toward the types of energy that they would like to see incorporated into the future energy system. Based on a national survey of 3000 respondents conducted in 2020, we analyze the differences in awareness, preferences and attitudes among racial groups in the US, and how they will influence future energy system design, cognizant of a rapidly changing demographic. Utilizing robust statistical analysis methods, we ascertain cultural and demographic based differences in energy technology awareness, opinions and deployment preferences, and, building on this evidence base, develop an energy system model which allocates these preferences toward future energy system design. The findings are contrasted with current national energy system goals, highlighting the need for both bottom-up policy input which is culturally and demographically aware, alongside top-down energy system goals and guidelines.

文化和人口能源系统意识和偏好:对美国未来能源系统设计的启示
这项研究调查了种族群体对他们希望看到纳入未来能源系统的能源类型的认识和偏好的差异。基于 2020 年对 3000 名受访者进行的一项全国性调查,我们分析了美国种族群体在意识、偏好和态度方面的差异,以及它们将如何影响未来的能源系统设计,同时认识到人口结构的迅速变化。利用稳健的统计分析方法,我们确定基于文化和人口统计的能源技术意识、意见和部署偏好的差异,并在此证据基础上开发一个能源系统模型,将这些偏好分配给未来的能源系统设计。调查结果与当前的国家能源系统目标形成鲜明对比,
