    YouGov tracker: Wind power continues to be the most popular form of energy generation

    It is a line graph, where the vertical axis is percentage of support for various forms of energy generation, and the horizontal axis represents time, from August 2019 to May 2023. Wind power is consistently the most supported energy source over this time period, with nuclear overtaking solar in second place in recent years. Gas and coal power are consistently low over time.

    YouGov’s biannual tracker of support for various forms of energy generation shows that wind and solar have had the highest support since 2019, with nuclear overtaking solar in recent years. Coal and gas receive consistently low support over time.

    Methodology Note: These percentages are lower than other surveys that measure support for different forms of energy generation individually. This survey requires that people choose one out of all options, rather than asking people outright whether they support any particular energy generation source.
