How’s this for an energy statistic? Members of the National Rifle Association are more than twice as likely to have solar panels as others in the U.S.
It’s the finding of a survey that also found clean energy and climate action is as popular in red states as in blue states. The survey was carried out by Swytch, which is a blockchain-based platform that tracks the impact of sustainbility efforts.
The news site Think Progress says the survey found 38 percent of NRA members have solar panels which is more than twice the percentage of the general population at 17 percent.
Don’t jump to the conclusion that gun owners are likely to have roof-top solar panels. Rather, they are more likely to own the pocket-sized portable panels which can sit on the dashboard of a car, soak up the sun then power I-phones and other such devices.
