Americans’ Changing Views of Renewable Energy Policies

For ten years, the University of Michigan and Muhlenberg College have conducted the National Surveys on Energy and Environment (NSEE), which explore Americans’ attitudes towards energy and climate change. The researchers recently published Solar, Wind, and State Mandates: 10 Years of Renewable Energy in the NSEE, which considers how Americans’ views on solar and wind energy have changed over the past decade. The report also explores attitudes towards and knowledge of state energy mandates, such as renewable portfolio standards. In this webinar, lead author Sarah Mills discussed the report’s findings and revealed the results of a new 2018 survey.
