Polling by Crosby Textor has been released today clearly showing that Australian voters across the political spectrum want more renewable energy, the Clean Energy Council said.
Clean Energy Council Acting Chief Executive Kane Thornton said the polling showed extremely strong support for the Renewable Energy Target (RET), a policy that had generated billions of dollars of investment and tens of thousands of jobs – but which is currently under threat.
“More than 80 per cent of those polled wanted the RET left alone. While there are clearly differing views within the Federal Government in regards to the future of the RET, the Crosby Textor polling commissioned by Pacific Hydro shows 70 per cent of Liberal voters want the target left alone to do its job,” Mr Thornton said.
“Significantly, this support has strengthened over the last year during a period of sustained attack by some public commentators.
