POTAWATOMI'S NEW CLEAN ENERGY POLL CONTRASTS WITH WMC FINDINGS

Posted on 3/11/10 by Wispolitics

A majority of likely Wisconsin voters support the “Clean Energy Jobs Act,” and two-thirds believe the state should take steps on its own to reduce emissions that cause global warming, according to a new poll from the Forest County Potawatomi.

The results of the mid-February survey are almost the exact opposite of what Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce found last fall. According to the WMC poll, 62 percent of voters believed global warming is not the state’s issue to solve and 68 percent opposed increased renewable energy mandates when told of the increased costs for their electric bills. WMC opposes the energy bill.
