American Public Gives Boost to Green PR & GR, Says: "Give Us Clean Energy"
It is amazing that as political will and Senate support for cleantech dwindles, the American public supports it more than ever before. According to a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center, 87 percent of Americans support requiring utilities to adopt renewable energy and 78 percent support the passage of stricter energy efficiency standards.
Even more surprising and encouraging is that nearly two-thirds of Americans support putting restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions. This would seem to indicate that a cap and trade system or carbon tax should unequivocally be included in any climate legislation.
So where is the political will to get a more renewables and cleantech friendly bill passed?
