President of WIPP, Barbara Kasoff stated that women have a huge stake in the the future of our country and its energy production. She explained that women are concerned by the lack of progress in global warming or cleaning of the air and water.

The survey details included:

* 77% of women take an equal or primary role for paying their electricity bills

* 97% of women are conserving electricity

* 91% of women play a dominant role in conserving resources within the home

* 43% of women state their highest goal is to move to clean energy

* 90% of women are positive and supportive regarding solar and wind energy

The survey has shown that women are willing to admit that they are unclear about the effect of electricty production on the environment and would like to have more information readily available to them. Electricity power plants have been flagged as the biggest contributor to global warming in this country but only 7% of women were aware of this.

Health concerns rated high amongst women as a driver to move towards clean energy. Providing a clean and healthy environment to their children was major factor in the consideration.

Women openly admit that they do not understand all aspects of energy production or the impact on the environment but wish to leave a cleaner and better planet for the next generation.
