#' American Adults on Regulation and Renewable Energy
#'
#' Pew Research conducted a poll to find whether American adults support
#' regulation or believe the private market will move the American economy
#' towards renewable energy.
#'
#' The exact statements being selected were: (1) Government
#' regulations are necessary to encourage businesses and consumers to rely more
#' on renewable energy sources. (2) The private marketplace will ensure that
#' businesses and consumers rely more on renewable energy sources, even without
#' government regulations.
#'
#' The actual sample size was 1012. However, the original data were not from a
#' simple random sample; after accounting for the design, the equivalent sample
#' size was about 705, which was what was used for the dataset here to keep
#' things simpler for intro stat analyses.
