71% think Australia should put more emphasis on producing domestic energy from solar power and 62% think there should be more emphasis on wind power. A majority (50%) think there should be less emphasis on producing energy from coal.
There were few substantial differences since this question was asked in September, except for an increase for more emphasis on hydro power – up from 46% to 55%.
