Pew Poll - Public Divided Over Environmental Regulation and Energy Policy
A recent Pew poll assessing public attitudes on energy and the environment indicates thatĀ Americans are increasingly supportive of environmental protection while at the same time, expressing support for reasonably priced Ā energy. Ā Any company with a long term view should take particularĀ note of the generational divide when it comes to environmental protection. Ā 59% of 18-29 years-olds called protecting the environment as part of energy development a ātop priorityā versus 43% of those over 65. Ā Those are your customers of today and tomorrow, and their attitudesĀ will drive their economic choices in the years ahead.
Americans lean toward regulations ā not economic markets alone ā as the most effective way to increase reliance on renewable energy, but they are evenly split on the question of whether fewer regulations can be used to protect air and water.
