Two years after Winter Storm Uri left millions in Texas without power for days, a new poll finds that a majority of Texans support expanding renewable energy over fossil fuels in the U.S.
The poll was conducted by the Hobby School of Public Affairs at the University of Houston.
It found that a majority of Texans support expanding U.S. reliance on solar power (64%), geothermal (59%), and wind (57%). Only 41% preferred expanding U.S. reliance on onshore conventional oil and gas.
