A new poll says Canadians want a national strategy to create clean energy jobs, improve energy efficiency and tackle climate change.
The poll from Tides Canada says 87 per cent of people want the federal and provincial government’s to get busy greening things up.
“Citizens are hungry for a smart plan that will move the nation forward on the emerging global clean-energy opportunity and tackle climate change at the same time,” says Merran Smith, director of the energy initiative at Tides Canada. “If the premiers are ready to forge a bold new energy plan to make Canada a clean-energy leader, the nation is ready for it.”
The same poll also found only 33 per cent of people think exporting more of Canada’s oil and gas should be a top or high priority.
