by Solar Energy Industries Association
New research by top pollster Hart Research Associates shows that likely voters in the 2012 election cycle overwhelmingly support solar energy and would like to see the federal government to do more to foster the growing industry. The survey showed for the fifth consecutive year that Americans maintain a very favorable view of solar energy and of government efforts to encourage the industry’s growth. It also found that more than nine out of 10 (92 percent) of likely voters feel that the U.S. should develop and use more solar energy. This support was strong across the political spectrum with 84 percent of Republicans, 95 percent of independents, and 98 percent of Democrats agreeing.
