According to a new poll by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 6 in 10 surveyed say driving a more fuel-efficient car would save a large amount of energy, but only 1 in 4 says that's easy to do, and people are skeptical of carpooling or installing better home insulation, rating them as effective but impractical.
On the other end of spectrum, 8 in 10 say they easily can turn off the lights when they leave a room, and 6 in 10 have no problem turning up the thermostat in summer or down in winter, although fewer than half think those easy steps save large amounts of energy.
About 6 in 10 people cite lack of knowledge about energy-saving products as a major reason they don't do more to conserve.
