A new poll finds that most Americans feel attaining energy independence is far more important than fighting climate change.
A recent Napolitan News Service poll found that 57 percent said that they would rather see government work on energy independence than have government worry about climate change. Only 39 percent felt that climate change was more important.
Per The Center Square:
Half of voters (50%) said keeping the price of cars low was more important to them than reducing emissions, while 43% said emissions reductions were more important than the price of buying a car.
When asked, “Which is more important, reducing greenhouse gas emissions or reducing the cost and improving the reliability of electricity and gas for American families?”, 59% said reducing the cost and increasing the reliability was more important compared to 35% who said reducing emissions was more important.
