Based on a recent poll of registered voters in Illinois, there is overwhelming support for increasing the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency in Illinois:

- 95% of voters support energy efficiency
- More than 80% of voters support development of wind and solar energy

Nearly 100,000 workers in Illinois are employed in clean energy jobs. They are manufacturing wind and solar equipment; they are building and operating clean energy projects; and they are installing and upgrading energy efficiency systems that cut energy use and reduce electricity bills for Illinois families and businesses. That’s why:

• More than 65% of Illinoisans believe renewable energy and energy efficiency will create jobs in Illinois.
• More than 68% believe renewable energy and energy efficiency stabilize or reduce energy costs.

Voters prioritize a clean energy future.

- 84% of voters want to move towards cleaner sources of energy.
- 92% of voters support diverse energy sources rather than relying on just a few.

The message from Illinoisans is clear: Legislators should prioritize voter-supported renewable energy and energy efficiency and support policies that maximize job creation in Illinois’ clean energy economy.

The survey was completed by a bipartisan research team of Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates (FM3) and Public Opinion Strategies. More info on this poll is available at ilenviro.org/cleanenergypoll.
