Across the American West, voters strongly support transitioning to 100% clean energy, protecting the region’s public lands and saving water by paying farmers to leave their fields dry. Sammy_Roth explains more in the latest edition of Boiling Point:
Across the American West, voters strongly support transitioning to 100% clean energy, protecting the region’s public lands from oil and gas drilling and saving water by paying farmers to leave their fields dry.
Two-thirds of voters expressed concern over “the impact of oil and gas drilling on our land, air and water.”A staggering 92% of respondents are worried about low water levels in rivers. Four in five voters support the “30 by 30” goal of protecting 30% of America’s lands and waters by 2030. I posed that question to Dave Metz and Lori Weigel, who have been conducting the Colorado College survey for 13 years running. They’re a unique team: Metz is a Democratic pollster based in California, Weigel a Republican pollster based in Colorado.
