A Pew Research Center poll of over 8,000 people in the US shows drops in support for more solar energy, and fewer people say they’ll buy an EV as their next car.
While the majority of Americans would like to see more clean energy from solar and wind farms — support for new renewable energy projects has started to wane, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey. It also found a drop in interest in electric vehicles following Biden administration policies to slash greenhouse gas emissions and Republican backlash. The share of people who favor more solar power has dropped from 90 to 78 percent since 2020, the survey found.
More than 80 percent of Republicans surveyed, compared to 35 percent of Democrats, oppose the Environmental Protection Agency’s new standards for greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes expected to make more than half of car sales EVs by 2032. Those shifts in opinion coincide with the Biden administration’s push to incentivize new renewable energy projects since he was elected in 2020.
