Overwhelming Public Support For Australian Renewable Energy Target


After the Australian government, the entire the country is rallying behind the country’s renewable energy target (RET). New surveys conducted by Crosby Textor (Research firm) confirms this overwhelming support.


The survey conducted through August concluded that out of 1000 residents, 82% of respondents believe that Renewable Energy Target should be kept intact. There was a certain percentage that was undecided regarding this issue. There has been an increase in awareness concerning the environment. This is evident in the Australian politics poll of 2013 and the latest being of August of 2014. The environment concern has gone up from 3% in 2013 to 13% in 2014. 

Renewable energy industry leaders have come in support of the recent polls, which is against the liberal government’s attempt to abolish the Renewable energy target. Clean energy council acting executive was quick to point out the results, which indicated maximum number of residents who wanted the RET to remain intact. Leaders such as Andrew Richards, executive manager external affairs for pacific hydro, made clear what he though of Tony Abbot’s current policy. 

He believes that the people of Australia want more renewable energy. He insists that the people want the current government to aim higher and ensure the Australia is a world leader on renewable energy.
