CleanChoice Energy poll finds majority of Illinois residents want clean energy option

A new poll shows that Illinois residents overwhelmingly want to be able to choose their energy supplier, choose clean energy and want more renewable energy in the Illinois power system. The poll commissioned by CleanChoice Energy, a renewable energy company that provides 100% clean electricity to customers across the country, was conducted by SurveyUSA. SurveyUSA interviewed 550 Illinois adults who rent or own their home, pay their utility bills, and have at least some input on the household choice of their utility company. Support for energy choice through Alternative Retail Energy Suppliers (ARES) cut across the typical partisan divide with both Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly agreeing that they want to be able to choose clean energy. To date, CleanChoice Energy has helped Illinois residents reduce air and carbon pollution by over 462,600,00 pounds by switching to 100% renewable energy.
