PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and the Environment

Some findings of the current survey:

• A record-high majority say California should act now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, rather than wait until the economy improves.
• Although many are unaware of the state’s cap-and-trade program, most consider it important to spend some of the revenues in disadvantaged areas.
• Slim majorities favor building the Keystone XL Pipeline, but oppose increased use of fracking.
