“…The attitude that society takes (Reboredo and Ugolini, 2018) challenges is influenced by the perceived costs of the RET (Kreuz and Felix, 2018;Olson-hazboun et al, 2018;"The difference between popularity and prestige in the sciences and in the social sciences: A bibliometric analysis" by Franceschet, 2010;Zhang et al, 2018), the risks and rewards, the positive and negative feelings in response to the technology given the long planning period and the large sums of capital required by RET and, in some cases, the fact that it is subsidized, it is desirable for decisionmakers to recognize public opinion (Hache, 2018;Overland, 2019;Bayulgen and Benegal, 2019) and at least perceive if opinions are based on biased perceptions (Ribeiro et al, 2018), (Sweerts et al, 2019). A clear example of what needs to be done by decisionmakers is the case of the implementation of renewable energies in Brazil (Bradshaw, 2017), a great example for other Latin American countries to follow (Arias-gaviria et al, 2019;Pietrosemoli and Rodríguez-monroy, 2019;Ylipulli et al, 2014); this case is analyzed by some authors within a very interesting study, where the political and institutional context led to regulatory reforms in the electricity sector since the nineties (Djørup et al, 2018).…”
