Deep support for clean energy solutions continues to grow, led by solutions with clear economic and environmental benefits. Where a solution saves Australians money and benefits the environment, deep support follows.
Home solar panels remain the most deeply supported clean energy solution, with solar batteries close behind.Together they represent the strongest deep support in the clean energy landscape, with a significant gap to the rest of the field.
Support for transmission infrastructure has strengthened significantly, yet Australians remain reluctant to talk about it positively. This suggests a portion of Australians who support the solution aren't yet comfortable advocating for it publicly.
Positive noise continues to track personal support, but the balance between positive and negative noise matters more than volume alone. Solar farms attract more positive than negative noise, helping explain why they draw deeper support than wind.
Australians continue to underestimate how much their communities support clean energy solutions, particularly infrastructure. Personal support consistently outpaces perceived local community support, and this gap is widening for wind farms.
