I saw a recent entry on the Environmental Law Prof. Blog regarding renewable energy (link). The blog discusses a report from the World Public Opinion. org. According to the WPO a majority of people support renewable energy including a requirement that utilities generate renewable energy. This is good news as it means that there is support for Renewable Portfolio Standards. New Jersey has a very progressive RPS and is looking to improve upon that with its Energy Master Plan. As I wrote earlier, NJ is seeking to increase its RPS from 22.5% by 2020 to 30% by 2020. (link). Hopefully, this report also provides some support for a Federal RPS, which President-elect Obama has indicated that he supports.
