Voters Support An “America First” Approach To Clean Energy Tax Credits
Republican voters support retaining domestic manufacturing incentives while preventing adversaries from taking advantage of them. Consistent with past polling, we find that even limiting the electric vehicle (EV) tax credits to domestically-owned and produced cars does not save it from the ire of Republican voters.
Voter Attitudes Towards Clean Energy Tax Credits
As Congress pushes forward on the 2025 Budget Resolution, now in the Senate, a new nationwide survey from the Rainey Center offers key insights into voter preferences on energy development, tax credits, and fiscal tradeoffs. The findings reveal strong bipartisan support for expanding domestic energy production, a preference for targeted tax domestic incentives over broad electric vehicle subsidies, and a nuanced approach to clean energy investments.
Keep America Competitive Voters Support a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
Rainey Center conducted polling to understand how voters view the carbon-border adjustment mechanism (CBAM), a policy that places a fee on dirty energy from countries with lower environmental standards than the United States. We collaborated with the Rob and Melani Walton Sustainability Solutions Service to explore voter attitudes towards a carbon border adjustment mechanism.
