An American Public Power Association poll of 1300 adults found that a majority of US consumers believe public power is more concerned about the environment, offers lower rates, allows more control over utility operations, and has better service than private power companies. The poll shows that the American people support public power principles in every dominant measure. Specific findings were support of pluralism and competition and a preference for cost-based pricing. 1 figure.
