Polls show energy doesn't spark Americans' interest http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1383251490
The U.S. is a rising energy power with soaring oil and gas production and lots of big decisions to make about pipelines, fracking, the future of wind and solar power, and how to tackle climate change.
But the public may not be paying much attention. Recent polls show that Americans are largely disengaged from the fierce energy debates that embroil the capital and that many people know few details -- or even the larger trends -- about where the U.S. gets its energy and how much it costs.
Most don't know that U.S. energy production is going up, and a large majority think the nation's biggest oil supplier is Saudi Arabia. (The correct answer: Canada.) And some polls reveal apparent inconsistencies in people's opinions on big energy questions: They want more natural gas production but oppose fracking, the technology that produced the U.S. gas boom.
