What Americans Think About Energy & Drilling…

According to a recent poll by Belden, Russonello & Stewart more Americans support investing in new energy technology rather than expanding oil exploration and drilling.

By the numbers:
76%
- think investing in new energy technology is the most important priority

66% - think that protect lands should remain off limits because they are valuable natural resources that cannot be replaced

63% - think that opening up public lands to oil and gas drilling is more likely to enrich oil companies than to lower gas prices for consumers

54% - do not think that allowing oil companies to drill in public lands and offshore will lower gas prices
