"It’s not news to say that Australians are even more in love with their energy
home upgrades than ever before, but uncertainty about what other people think
of the energy transition is creating doubt.
These contrasting data points are from the latest
Clean Energy Solutions
Index, a survey of more than 3,000 people across the country.
While support for rooftop solar and home batteries is stronger than ever and
accompanied by a sharp lift in love for electric vehicles, general sentiment
towards the energy transition lifted by just 1 per cent to a score of 61 out of
100.
The woman behind the study believes a minimum of 70 is what’s needed to create
the community and political will to build what’s needed to replace coal.
“I hope we’re at 70 within the next five years, and if we’re not at a 70 deep
support score in the next five years, I feel very hard to kind of put that
genie back in the bottle,” 89 Degrees East research director Rebecca Huntley
said at the Australian Clean Energy Summit in Sydney today.
“Deep support requires consistency. It requires lived experience and benefit,
and really building the trust from the community up and the top down.
“We are so behind the eight-ball in building that trust… we will progress
slowly in the right direction unless we address this.”
The
Index’s score is made up of views on a tech being good for Australia,
personal support, views on whether it’s supported by the community, and
willingness to talk positively about it."
