The majority of Scottish people support the widespread adoption of renewable energy, a poll commissioned by WWF Scotland has shown. The survey showed 61% agreed or strongly agreed they "would like to see a Scotland that generates all of its electricity from our abundant renewable resources. "The findings are in stark contrast with those for England and Wales, where only 35% would want renewables as part of Scotland's energy mix. The findings were published ahead of an announcement expected from the Scottish government which is expected to include plans for a new energy strategy. In August, wind turbines produced enough electricity to power 1.7 million homes; 69% of all homes in Scotland.
