Political reporters paint investments in clean energy as a pander to a narrow segment of the Democratic base, while pledges to continue investment in coal are framed as smart plays to shoring up the moderate middle. And of course you have to support corn ethanol or you’ll lose the entire center of the country!
But take a look at this new poll of homeowners by Zogby Analytics for Clean Edge and Solar City. It’s solar and wind that are broadly popular, while coal and biofuels have only fringe support – and keep in mind this question allowed people to name their top three.
Meanwhile, for all the talk of the popularity of fracked gas, it finished a distant third to clean energy.
