A new poll from Clean Energy Canada shows that two-thirds of Canadians favour prioritizing clean energy projects over fossil fuel development, while 85% want federal climate action maintained or strengthened.
These findings signal a decisive public mandate: Canadian Renewable Energy is not only an environmental priority but also a central pillar for Canada’s energy development vision.
The poll suggests that clean power is increasingly viewed as the backbone of Canada’s long-term prosperity. From wind and solar to critical minerals and energy storage, Canadian Renewable Energy industries are positioned to drive jobs, innovation, and competitiveness in a global economy that is rapidly shifting away from carbon-intensive fuels.
Even in provinces historically tied to oil and gas, Canadians see the value in diversifying into renewables. Younger citizens are especially vocal in calling for greater climate action, but older demographics also acknowledge the role Canadian Renewable Energy will play in ensuring future stability and growth.
The survey also reflects an appetite for weaving clean energy into everyday life. Respondents supported using low-carbon materials in homebuilding and ensuring new communities are equipped with electric vehicle charging stations and clean heating technologies. These choices illustrate how Canadians increasingly want sustainability built into the foundation of modern life.
Together, these findings highlight a national consensus: Canadian Renewable Energy is not a niche sector, but the driver of the country’s future economy. Canadians are ready for ambitious policies that align environmental responsibility with opportunity—ensuring Canada remains a leader in the global shift to clean energy.
