Here’s something that might be of interest to readers here. The University of Texas at Austin has released the latest version of its energy poll that provides a snapshot of how engaged Americans are currently with following energy issues. There are a variety of questions that are asked and responses are broken down by political leaning, gender, and income level. From a quick survey of the responses it appears to me that the most engaged segment of the population are by category, libertarians, males and the less well off.
