Energy poll

Bishop Hill in Energy: gas, Energy: wind, Greens

As a measure of how successful the likes of Friends of the Earth have been in misinforming the public, take a look at Ipsos-Mori's latest poll on public attitudes to science, and in particular the section on energy (p.31 here):

• 76% of adults support offshore wind, 36% support shale gas
• 58% think that offshore wind will have a positive effect on the UK economy (about the same percentage as for shale gas)

I wonder how much of UK industry will be shut down before we see those figures change.
