It’s been a busy few weeks in California! I ran into several Lab members at Saturday’s Rise for Climate, Jobs & Justice events in San Francisco, and the Solidarity to Solutions and Global Climate Action Summit activities are currently in full swing. Those events follow the California legislature’s recent passage and Gov. Brown’s Monday signing of SB100, which puts the Golden State on track to generate 100% of its electricity from carbon-free sources by 2045. Hats off to all the groups who made these things happen!
This week’s alert builds off that latest chapter in campaigns for 100% clean energy, by revisiting what we know about engaging Americans around 100%.

Results from the latest run of our Climate & Clean Energy Tracking Poll are out! The survey of 2,662 (self-reported) registered voters in Colorado, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Ohio found concern about climate around all-time highs, polarization of confidence in federal climate action, and remarkably steady Republican attitudes. Check out the deck*, or watch the webinar recording*.
This wave of the Tracking Poll was fielded from July 30-Aug. 2, 2018 in cooperation with the Climate and Clean Energy Polling Consortium (CCEPC) and Climate Nexus; it is the latest in the semi-annual surveys going back to November 2014. The goal has been to monitor shifts in beliefs and attitudes over time across five key states where the climate advocacy community is focusing substantial public engagement work.
