BURLINGTON, Vt. – Out of 653 registered voters, half of those asked were in favor moving forward with wind power development. 41% favor a moratorium for a few years to allow for further study. Regionally, those living in northern Vermont are more likely to favor a moratorium. Republicans were also more likely to delay development at 51% of those polled compared to just 30% of Democrats.
The poll was conducted for WCAX by the Castleton Polling Institute.
