Statara American Insights Survey Finds Americans Support a Variety of Renewable and Fossil Fuel Energy Solutions

Statara Solutions LLC, a leading provider of data analytics and customer intelligence solutions, released the most recent energy results of its quarterly Statara American Insights Survey which covers a wide range of important issues for Americans. The major findings of the survey show that Americans surveyed support a mix of energy production including both fossil fuel and renewable energy such as nuclear, wind and solar. 

“This quarterly omnibus poll allows us to share the latest insights on consumer sentiment on a wide range of important topics and issues,” said Bryan Whitaker, CEO, Statara. “Energy production in the U.S. and consumers' carbon footprint will increasingly be in the spotlight for consumers, energy producers, public affairs and government regulators, making these insights very revealing.”

Energy Production and Consumers Carbon Footprint 

The majority of Americans (67.7%) support the construction of fossil fuel pipelines while only 11.4% strongly oppose them. When explained that fossil fuel construction pipelines are a paid agreement between the company and the landowner, 67% of survey respondents are more likely to support its construction and less than 10% are much less likely.

In terms of renewable or green energy, the vast majority of those surveyed supported constructing green energy infrastructure such as wind or solar panel farms (78.9%). Less than one in four indicated that they would oppose green energy infrastructure construction. 

Nearly 60% of Americans also support increasing the production of nuclear energy but the majority also indicated that they would only feel comfortable living 100 or more miles away from a nuclear power plant. 

When thinking about purchasing products, three out of four consumers surveyed indicated it was important to buy products that reduce their carbon footprint, such as electric or hybrid cars, home solar panels, or electric appliances (76.2%). Less than 10% of respondents said carbon footprint consideration when purchasing a product was not important at all.
