More than two-thirds of the world's population favours solar energy, five times more than public support for fossil fuels, a global poll has found.

The survey, conducted by Glocalities in collaboration with advocacy groups Global Citizen and The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, was based on interviews with more than 21 000 people in 21 countries between January and June.

With 68% support, solar power was the most popular energy source, trailed by wind , hydropower and nuclear , with only 14% of respondents saying they favoured fossil fuels, the survey found. In the United States, the Glocalities poll found, solar energy was also the most favoured power source at 58%, while fossil fuel was supported by 24%, well ahead of the global average.

"This 'production gap' highlights a concerning paradox: despite strong public support for renewable energy, fossil fuel production remains prevalent," he said.
