Charlotte Observer - Republican voters might not like the term climate change, but they
support clean energy policies, according to a poll released Monday by a
Charlotte-based group.ClearPath, an advocacy group founded by
Charlottean Jay Faison, commissioned the poll as part of an effort to
show climate change is not just a Democratic issue...
Among the poll’s findings:
▪ Almost three out of four Republicans support the development and use of clean energy.
▪ The
best way for GOP candidates to win support for clean energy policies is
to talk about them in terms of reducing pollution, creating jobs and
reducing American dependence on Middle East sources of energy.
▪ Carbon
taxes for power plants and tax incentives for the development of
alternative energy sources were each backed by 54 percent of Republicans
but opposed by a majority of conservatives.
▪ Most voters as well as 56 percent of Republicans believe the climate is changing and humans play a role.
