A new poll indicates that Americans across party lines back reducing air pollution and expanding clean energy. The findings, highlighted by Environment America, suggest environmental policy remains one of the few areas where Democrats and Republicans share common ground. Supporters of clean energy measures are pointing to the results as evidence that action on pollution has broad public backing despite political divisions.

California is using and storing more solar energy than before, according to Environment America. The group highlights the state's progress in both generating electricity from solar and adding battery storage capacity. The finding points to continued growth in California's clean energy transition, with solar playing an increasingly large role in the state's power supply.
