Poll Shows UK Public Prefer Wind Power over Natural Gas
A new ICM opinion poll in the UK has shown that the public are in fact against the Chancellor George Osborne’s ‘dash for gas’ policy.
When asked if they would prefer a wind turbine or a shale gas well within two miles of their home, 67% of people said they would chose the turbine, compared to just 11% who said they would give their support to a shale gas plant.
Paul Monaghan, the head of social goals at the Co-operative (who commissioned the ICM poll), said that “this ICM poll puts to the sword the myth that the public are set against onshore wind and wish to rush into a second dash for gas.”
Actually the report states that only nuclear power and coal are less popular than shale gas.

The poll showed that if the wind project were privately owned, then only 49% of people would support it, and 22% would actually oppose it, whereas this support increased to 68%, and opposition fell to just 7% if the wind turbines were to be community-owned.
John Hayes, the new energy minister, told the Guardian that “appropriately sited onshore wind has a role to play, but if we're to make this work in a way that garners popular support, we've got to see a big improvement in how developers engage with local communities, new ways of ensuring a sense of local ownership and more obvious local economic benefits.”
