We’ve long said that the American people overwhelmingly want a transition to renewable energy. Now we have the polls to prove it.

If you have another, please send it our way.

Nationwide

America votes solar: 9 of 10 voters (92%) believe it is important for the United States to develop and use solar power. That support remains high across the political spectrum.

Fully seven in 10 (70%) voters say the federal government should be doing more to support solar.

Arizona

87% of Arizona voters think the state should choose renewable energy sources like solar and wind over more coal, and 78% would pay at least $5 a month to make that happen (pdf).

Behavior Research Center says environment near top of issues worrying Arizonans (pdf).

California

A poll conducted in 2012 for Vote Solar showed that an overwhelming majority (86%) of California voters support making net metering more widely available. Net metering is a critical policy that ensures that solar customers get fair credit on their utility bills for valuable clean energy they put on the grid for others to use.

Florida

90% of Floridians think the Legislature should encourage investment in solar energy in the state, and 78% would pay up to a dollar a month on their utility bill to make it happen (pdf).

New York

90% of New Yorkers are in favor of increased state investment for solar and wind (pdf).

Ohio

80% of the Ohio’s voters say they support “setting a standard for renewable energy in Ohio, which would require utilities to obtain twenty percent of our electricity from renewable sources like wind and solar by the year 2025” (pdf).

Texas

84% of Texans think that the Texas Legislature should encourage investment in solar power in Texas. And 81% would pay up to a dollar a month to make it happen (pdf).
