Customers willing to foot the bill for renewable energy When it comes to requiring power providers to generate more renewable energy, most Arizonans say "send me the bill." A newly-released Rocky Mountain Poll conducted in Arizona during sweaty, hot July found that 61 percent of residents favor the concept of requiring electric companies to generate more power through more solar and wind means, and more than half (57 percent) are willing to pay $25 more a month to see it happen. More than 80 percent support the measure if their power bill rose by a more modest $1 to $2. And levels above $25 sent support for more green energy down to 37 percent. The Arizona Corporation Commission is looking into such a requirement over the next 20 years. The findings in this study are based on a survey of 705 adults across Arizona conducted between July 9 and July 16 by the Behavior Research Center of Arizona as part of its independent Rocky Mountain Poll series.
