Here are some of the basic findings.
• Nine out of ten respondents (89%) think it is important for the U.S. to develop and use solar power.
• Solar energy is non-partisan: Independents (90%), Republicans (80%) and Democrats (94%) all agree that developing solar energy is important.
• Eight out of ten Americans (82%) believe that solar energy should receive the same level and type of support as fossil fuel industries have enjoyed for decades, and that the government should support solar manufacturing.
• A plurality (39%) would choose to prioritize solar if they were in charge of U.S. energy policy, more than natural gas (21%), wind (12%), nuclear (9%) or coal (3%).
• More than half of Americans (51%) would be more likely to buy a product if they knew it was made using solar energy.
So, why the disconnect between the people and the Washington crowd? Simple really.....the campaign finance laws favor the dirty energy crowd.
I am taking a mini golf vacation to California to see old friends and visit the beach. I will blog from my smart phone if possible.
