The Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy Public Opinion on Wind Energy In November and December 2013, a telephone survey was conducted with randomly selected households in the Great Lakes Basin.f All 1,247 respondents were asked questions about their perceptions of the health of the Great Lakes and major policy issues facing the Region. The survey was part of a larger research effort funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada under the auspices of the Great Lakes Policy Research Network centered at Ryerson University in Toronto, with additional funding from the Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP) at the University of Michigan and the Muhlenberg Institute of Public Opinion. To limit the overall length of the survey and allow for comparisons between varied types of energy sources, roughly half (n=633) of the survey respondents were randomly assigned to a survey that included ten questions about wind energy, the other half (n=614) were given ten questions about hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”). In addition, the survey also included questions about more general environmental policy. These latter topics are discussed at length in two companion reports.g These reports, along with additional research on energy and environmental policy in the Great Lakes Region, are available on the CLOSUP website through the Energy and Environmental Policy Initiative (EEPI). The survey data shows that residents of the Great Lakes Basin overwhelmingly support (84%) increasing the use of onshore wind power, with nearly half of all residents (46%) strongly favoring additional land-based windfarms (see Figure 5). Even offshore wind energy, which received much criticism when proposed for both Lake Michigan and Lake Ontario, is only slightly less popular, being favored by 80% of residents in the Basin. Figure 5 Support for increases in onshore and offshore wind power use “As I read some possible government policies relating to [America’s/Canada’s] energy supply in the Great Lakes Region, please tell me whether you would ‘strongly favor,’ ‘somewhat favor,’ ‘somewhat oppose,’ or ‘strongly oppose’ the implementation of each in the Great Lakes region.” Increase the use of wind power on land in the Great Lakes Region Increase the use of wind power off the shores of the Great Lakes strongly disagree 4% 6% 5% 7% somewhat disagree somewhat agree strongly agree 38% 46% 36% 44% Note: “Not sure” responses not shown. Margin of error ±3% f The survey sample included all households in Ontario (where the vast majority of the population lives within the Basin) and households in U.S. counties that were at least partially within the Basin. g Maack, E., et al.
