71% of Americans say global warming should be a very high priority for the president and Congress, by 50% of (R), 66% (I), 88% (D).
91% say developing sources of clean energy should be high priority by 85%, 89%, 97%.
82% say protecting the environment improves economic growth and new jobs by 76%, 74%, 94%.
68% would support forcing renewables on utilities if it cost them an extra $100 per year. 58%, 64%, 82%.
This indicates that the industry and it's ownership of the Congress and Senate and it's 5th column lackeys in the regulating agencies are working against up to 91% of Americans when it comes to developing and switching to clean energy. I would never have imagined it was anywhere near these numbers. With money and tying themselves to social issues, making it a package right wing issue of science doubt and abortion and so on, fossil fuel wins, somehow we have to strip this opportunity out of the social issue basket.
Any ideas, give me an idea, I will test the idea the next opportunity.

ReplyDeleteCan 91% of the American people be wrong?
It is all about money - Money in the Republican campaign coffers. What We The People think or even want is irrelevant

ReplyDeleteTaxation with representation would be a novel idea!....Pop'
I find it interesting that energy sources and use of has continued to be a debate. There are clean, safe options for heating homes and water. There are cleaner and cheaper ways to power automobiles. There aren't a lot of these new options available so making them mass market would create new jobs....I'm sorry, but I just don't get it, what's the problem? Why are we bound to Fossil Fuels? We have gotten all we can from this marriage with oil, it's time for a divorce.
