PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and the Environment
Mark Baldassare, Dean Bonner, Jennifer Paluch, and Sonja Petek
July 2009
Some findings of the current survey:
- Solid majorities of Californians favor government regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and policies to curb global warming.
- More Californians support than oppose expanding coastal oil drilling; even more favor improving fuel efficiency.
- Three in four Californians say the state should expand public transit and use existing transportation networks more efficiently—only 18 percent say the state should build more freeways.
