EU Survey Reveals Massive Support for Renewable Energy Transition

A majority of European Union citizens are in favor of an accelerated transition away from oil and gas and into alternative energy sources and transport electrification, a survey conducted by the European Investment Bank has shown, as reported by Reuters, which got an exclusive look at the survey. According to the survey, which involved 23,000 respondents, 87% wanted governments to make the transition a priority, with 52% saying solar should be at the top of the list of alternative, low-carbon energy sources.

Nuclear, on the other hand, had only 19% saying it should be prioritized. The percentage in favor of wind as a top alternative energy source stood at 37%.
