Wow - They had to spend money to find this out.

Myself Et Al, have been saying this is what the country needs/ wants...

But nay the greenies want carnage to the country & power prices.

CSIRO survey finds most Australians want moderately paced energy transition and are unwilling to pay more.

• In short: The CSIRO has conducted what is says is the biggest survey on Australians' attitudes towards the energy transition.
• The survey found most people are broadly supportive of green energy but are unwilling to pay more or risk blackouts for the shift

About 82 per cent of respondents ranked affordability in their top three priorities, according to the CSIRO.

According to the agency, most people are unwilling to pay more or risk blackouts to accelerate the move away from fossil fuels, which are still used to meet almost two-thirds of the power in Australia's main electricity grid.

The CSIRO said 64 per cent of respondents disagreed or strongly disagreed with the idea of paying more for electricity, a figure that was only slightly lower, at 62 per cent, for gas.

At the same time, almost 60 per cent of people were not prepared to risk more blackouts as part of the transition.
