Composite Character Profiles

The believer

  • Believes in self-sustainment being the best option in the long run for humanity.
  • Wants to start that change today, on an individual level for either practical or theoretical systems.
  • Optimistic and embracing of adopting energy-efficient systems with a consequence of price increase.

The skeptic

  • Believes in self-sustainment being the best option in the long run for humanity.
  • Wants to start that change today, on an individual level but only if the technology is practical and works.
  • Optimistic and embracing to a certain extent of adopting energy-efficient systems with a consequence of price increase. Would reject far too high price increase.

The common rejecter

  • Believes or does not believe in self-sustainment being the best option in the long run for humanity; cares more about their individual situation and their lifespan.
  • Doesn’t care about starting that change, but is open to accepting it if the energy efficient system is on par or superior to the existing energy inefficient system, and is at a same or cheaper price.
