It is research that shows about 40.2 percent of some 100 people in rural communities surveyed believe their community is somewhat informed about renewable energy.
It shows that only 15.8 percent of the people surveyed feel they are personally informed about renewable energy.
The survey also showed that 51.2 percent of the people surveyed could not list renewable energy options which the group concludes shows a disconnect in the education of these options.
The survey shows that 79.3 percent of those responding don’t believe there are enough education resources about renewable energy in their area.
