Even before Ukraine crisis, majority of Americans wanted country to prioritize renewable energy development, poll shows

A large majority of Americans say the US should prioritize developing renewable energy, but remain wary of transitioning off fossil fuels entirely, according to new polling from Pew Research Center

The survey of 10,237 US adults was conducted weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine, which has increased energy costs around the world and raised concerns over energy security and reliance on fossil fuels. The results show 69% of American adults favor developing alternative energy, including wind and solar, over increasing production of fossil fuels like oil, coal and natural gas.

Supreme Court hears case that could limit EPA's authority to regulate planet-warming emissions from power plantsThe poll found 72% of respondents said a clean energy transition would not happen quickly enough to prevent"severe problems from climate change." Pew found majorities from both parties -- 85% of Democrats and Democratic leaners as well as 58% of Republicans and Republican leaners -- believed the energy transition wouldn't happen fast enough.
