Gallup poll: Most Americans don’t see country's energy situation as 'very serious'

Just 34% of Americans see the country's energy situation as "very serious," according to a new Gallup tracker poll released Monday.

That figure is down 10% from last year, when motorists were paying historically high gas prices.

Voter sentiment has since changed, the poll appears to show.

While 44% of respondents indicated they’re quite concerned about the domestic situation, 51% said it was just "fairly serious," while 14% felt it is "not at all serious."

As of March, Gallup also found that the majority of Americans – 53% – believe the country should "prioritize environmental protection" over developing our own energy supply and being energy independent.

While gas prices are lower than last year's, they are re-approaching $5 a gallon at the pump, with U.S. companies saying such rises are largely the results of changes in the global market.

Be glad you are not living in South Africa right now.
They have had rolling blackouts throughout the nation for years, maybe as far back as 2008. The utility supplier; Eskom Holdings needs billions to repair and update their power plants. They don’t get that money from an unstable government.

When the light switch doesn’t work for months with no major storms or floods going on...THEN those aren’t concerned will get their wake up call. But not by phone. No power. Looking good for a new pony express service.

Thank you for referencing that article Twotone.

Energy situation?

Energy wasn't a situation until after alleged crisis-manufacturing Democrats allegedly stole 2020 elections from Trump imo.

More than 1/3 of the country are blithering idiots, and the number is growing.

It isn't serious if you look at it realistically.

We have oil, gas and coal in abundance. We also have uranium. We have all the components to build as many power and oil refineries as needed. We even have all the required stuff to build as many windmills and solar panels as we want if people want to go in that direction.

We should be able to produce as much energy as we need if we want to.

What is lacking is the want to.

And that is what is serious. That we are sitting on a pile of food and starving to death because of evil political dirt bags.
