Full text not available from this repository.Given the urgency to decarbonise all aspects of human life while providing energy to all, policymakers seek to implement policies to accelerate the expansion of renewable energy generation. Currently, potential policies are usually discussed concerning maximising public support at a given time while neglecting policies’ alignment with specific goals. This article proposes a new way to study the acceptance of energy policies in the context of policy goals, relying on interdisciplinary research. Together with energy modelling experts, we created policies in alignment with specific goals. Using a novel preregistered survey experiment, we study the role of goal alignment in opinions about energy policies among n = 5,655 individuals. We differentiate between people who do not support energy policies that can reach ambitious targets and those who do not wish policies to meet the targets. We show that discussing and communicating policies and goals jointly can increase support for ambitious policies.
