Yesterday, we posted on a recent economic impact study released by America's Natural Gas Alliance. They have also released the results of a recent poll finding that Americans have a very favorable opinion of natural gas as an energy source:
The American public not only expects to rely more on natural gas, but also has very favorable views about it. Opinions of natural gas rank right alongside solar power, hydro power, wind power, and domestically produced oil in favorable perceptions. In a “thermometer” ranking from cold/very unfavorable (0) to warm/very favorable (100), natural gas rated a mean score of 71, with other top tier energy sources ranging from 73-81. Second tier energy sources were ethanol and biofuels, nuclear power, coal and oil imported from foreign countries. Second tier thermometer ratings ranged from 26-54.
That's encouraging.
