compared in table 2, reveal similarities 
and differences between the two sam- 
ples, as well as between their respec- 
tive subgroups. Population control, for 
example, was more of an issue in 1970 
than in 1980. In 1970, the least con- 
troversial of all our statements about 
cultural attitudes was, “I think that 
all American families, regardless of 
social or economic position, must limit 
the number of children to two or, at 
most, three.” There was an interesting 
pattern in the responses to this ques- 
tion in 1 980: Those 60 and over agreed 
most strongly with the statement; 
those in the 30 to 59 group, somewhat 
less strongly; and those 29 and youn- 
ger, least of all. We also found that 
the less income people had, the more 
strongly they agreed with the state- 
ment. 
On other questions the 1980 sample 
showed slightly more faith in tech- 
nology as a way to solve environmental 
problems and in the adequacy of pres- 
ent laws and conventions governing 
the use of natural resources on private 
lands. Those responding to the 1980 
questionnaire were also more apt to 
believe that economic growth is good 
for any community and less apt to 
feel that the profit motive is outdated. 
In general, the 1980 sample believed 
that environmental problems are con- 
nected to economic, technological, and 
political problems. 
Some attitudes have apparently not 
changed in the last decade. Two state- 
ments drew almost exactly the same 
response on the two questionnaires. 
Both samples strongly disagreed with 
the idea that plants and animals exist 
primarily for human use and enjoy- 
ment, and both were fairly evenly di- 
vided on whether our ecological prob- 
lems can be solved by existing Amer- 
ican political and economic systems. 
The two questionnaires themselves 
were not exactly the same. In 1980, 
we included several new questions re- 
flecting the tremendous role energy 
issues have come to play in the last 
decade. We knew that many people, 
including both those whose professions 
involve them in energy issues and 
those whose concern is more general, 
believe that the Western industrial na- 
tions’ present dependence on imported 
petroleum is a significant threat to 
those nations’ economic stability. 
Many who hold this view believe that, 
at least for the short term, the best 
solution to this problem is to derive 
more electricity from nuclear and 
coal-fired plants and, increasingly, 
from large, centralized solar energy
