Swing State Voters Support Renewable Energy Legislation
Looks like even Swing State voters are now lining up with environmentalists in support of renewable energy.
Two polls last month found public support remains very strong for legislation to help us move towards renewable energy and climate protection.
A Washington Post poll in August among a random national sample of 1,001 adults found that solar and wind power enjoy near-universal support; 9 in 10 people support funding further development. More than 8 in 10 favor requirements for greater fuel efficiency. Broad majorities also favor requiring increased energy conservation from businesses and consumers.
In a second poll in 16 battleground states; a Center For American Progress poll also found surprisingly strong support for renewable energy legislation, even in swing states among likely registered voters.
