Those attitudes hold true when it comes to coal; it's a personal matter. The poll found that 83 percent of Latinos surveyed agree that coal plants and oil refineries are a thing of the past and that we need to look toward the future and use more energy from clean sources. When it comes to coal in particular, impacts on public health resonate as the strongest concerns for Latino voters.
