Community appetite for energy efficiency
14 June 2011
The results are encouraging - 89% of people surveyed were willing to take actions to use less energy and 73% wanted more information on energy savings. However, 57% of the population had little or no awareness of government programs and about half knew little or nothing at all about key aspects of their energy use.
Almost 90% of those polled said if the Federal Government implements a carbon tax it should make sure the community is supported and able to save on their bills. Australian households will be better off under a carbon price with the right support.
