As of October 2005, consumers in the EU15 have, in theory, become part of the decision-making process behind determining the national electricity generation mix in their countries. Under European liberalisation legislation, electricity suppliers within the EU are required to provide all customers, both domestic and non-domestic, with information about how their electricity has been generated and to make available details of the consequent environmental impacts. As part of a liberalised market, these ‘electricity labels’ will play an important role if consumers are to exert the power of choice. Analysis of a pan-European telephone survey involving 3000 participants across 10 countries identifies the potential impact of electricity disclosure. Evidence from the UK demonstrates the many pitfalls between theory and practice and the limited options consumers have at present to influence the generation mix.

... Van den Broeck [1] states that a 'strategic project needs a vision framing it in a specific context, giving it a direction, a meaning, a justification and legitimacy in relation to the social-spatial context'. However, there is not enough evidence connecting drawing with spatial sustainability and how such ideas can be represented within the landscape scale, providing for resilient cities. Adopting questions such as if the landscape can support carbon consciousness [2] and how this is possible, this paper agrees with Sheppard [3], stating that a landscape can be a social mobilisation device; however, when this is seen from a climate and environmental perspective, it is largely neglected. Aragon [4] agrees that a landscape can provide a better way to communicate about climate change and explores artistic artefacts to do so. ...

... Some literature has also focused on information disclosure and environmental performance and finds that mandatory information disclosure may be a vital component for improving the utilization of clean energy. For example, as stressed by Boardman and Palmer (2007), electricity labels which provide information about the source and the electricity environmental effects are unique opportunities for consumers to transfer suppliers to more sustainable sources of electricity. Delmas et al. (2010) find that mandatory information disclosure programs in the electricity market will achieve the targeted goals, which lead to a reduction in the average proportion of fossil fuels and increasing utilization of clean fuels. ...
