The preferred energy sources for the future of U.S. homes may be solar and wind, according to a new survey\u00a0conducted by SolarCity, a solar installer, and Clean Edge, a marketing research firm.<\/p>\n

Of the approximately 1,400 home owners surveyed, half\u00a0identified solar energy as the most important energy source for the future of housing\u2014regardless of where respondents lived or their political views. Coming in second as an important future energy source was wind, followed by natural gas, increased efficiency, oil, hydro- and nuclear power.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the power sources that received the least public support were geothermal, coal, and biofuel\/biomass.<\/p>\n

About 87 percent of respondents surveyed said that renewable\u00a0sources are important to the nation\u2019s energy future. However, respondents said that \u201csaving money,\u201d not \u201creducing my environmental impact,” serves as the most important factor in deciding to purchase clean energy products and services. In fact, 82 percent of home owners surveyed cited saving money as the most important factor, while reducing the environmental impact was cited by 34 percent.<\/p>\n

“Sustained double-digit growth rates for more than a decade reflect the long-term nature of this current shift to more efficient, cleaner, and environmentally friendly products and services,” the surveyors wrote. “But don\u2019t be mistaken; as our research clearly points out, it is cost savings, much more than environmental factors, that are driving this monumental shift.”<\/p>\n

The survey found the most popular energy upgrades that home owners are planning on for the next year are LED light bulbs (27 percent) and smart thermostats (12 percent). Fewer people cited pricier energy upgrades\u00a0such as photovoltaic panels (6 percent), electric vehicles (4 percent), and heat pumps (4 percent).<\/p>\n
