Bogus Poll: Voters, DTE customers overwhelmingly support clean energy expansion

Poll: Voters, DTE customers overwhelmingly support clean energy expansion | Crain's Detroit Business:
A poll released today by the Sierra Club of Michigan shows 62 percent of DTE Energy Co. customers and Michigan voters support replacing utility-owned coal burning power plants with such renewable energy sources as wind and solar.
The majority of voters and DTE customers are concerned about “asthma attacks and other potential health problems from soot, smog and other pollution from coal-burning power plants,” said the renewable energy poll. 
They are also concerned about water pollution and fish kills caused by coal-fired plants, the poll found.
.....The energy telephone poll, which was conducted by Public Policy Polling, surveyed 798 Michigan voters who are DTE Energy customers and a representative sample of 670 Michigan voters statewide by telephone May 5-6.
