4.5. County differencesWorking with relatively small number of cases in each County,no statistical significance was found between the two counties forany of the scale scores and the mean scores are all within one stan-dard deviation. While the actual outcomes compared to initial plansfor two energy projects were drastically different, the two studyarea counties are relatively socio-demographically homogeneous,and this latter attribute may be reflected in similar environmentalattitudes, wind energy attitudes, expectations, satisfactions, andattachment to place. Although the differences are not significant,respondents from Hand County with the underdeveloped TitanWind Project had slightly higher expectations and less of thoseexpectations satisfied but had slightly more favorable attitudestowards wind energy in general and the environment, and higherplace attachment scores. It is possible that with a larger pool ofrespondents, these differences would be statistically significant.However, this data shows that underdevelopment of a wind energyproject did not significantly impact the attitudes, expectations, andsatisfaction compared to a neighboring County with a "fully devel-oped" wind project.
