A new poll by Business Insider found that a large majority of Americans “strongly favor cleaner sources of energy over fossil fuels,” a belief shared across party lines. This supports the increasing number of state and local governments making substantial changes towards developing the renewable energy industry despite the federal government withdrawing from the Paris Agreement earlier this year.

This latest poll supports the Gallup poll from March indicating an increasing number of Americans that are overwhelmingly in favor of reducing fossil fuel use, where six in 10 U.S. adults say they would “strongly favor” (27%) or “favor” (33%) policies with this energy goal, while fewer than four in 10 say they would “oppose” (19%) or “strongly oppose” (17%) them.

In addition, the Gallup poll also asked whether the U.S. should put more emphasis or less emphasis on the production of each of six energy resources. The vast majority of Americans answered that they want to see more emphasis placed on the production of green energy sources — specifically solar power (80%) and wind (70%), with around half stating that they  believe there should be less emphasis on coal power.

The Insider poll asked the following question: “If cost were not an issue, which of the following types of power would you prefer to generate your area’s electricity? Rank them in order of preference.” It found solar and wind also the top two most preferred power source, with and average rank of 2.7 and 3.5, respectively. Hydroelectric came in third, followed by geothermal power, natural gas, biomass, petroleum, nuclear, and respondents ranked coal as the least preferred energy source. 

Polling data also revealed that the public is “eager to adopt more renewable sources of energy, instead of continuing to rely on fossil fuels that pollute the Earth’s atmosphere and contribute to climate change.”
