Energy companies blamed for high bills
Just 17% of Hunter residents polled oppose the shift to clean energy
Some 30% of Hunter locals are more concerned about climate change than they were a year ago, a new poll has revealed, as a local farmer says sustainability is "just good farm management".
The polling of 302 Hunter residents was part of a broader poll of 1,965 residents across key renewable energy zones, with the polling completed on March 20 . The research firm, 89 Degrees East, is a member of The Research Society of Australia. Farmers for Climate Action has released the poll as it aims to make sure regional voices are heard.
