need to utilize a mix of energy sources including oil, coal and gas together with sustainable energy sources. A smaller share (31%) says the U.S. needs to phase out nonrenewable fuel sources entirely and only depend on eco-friendly sources such as wind and solar energy. Almost all Democrats and independents who lean to the Democratic Party (90%) prefer the U.S.
In contrast, slightly more than half (53%) of Republicans and GOP leaners oppose this objective, while 44% favor it. There are significant disagreements amongst Republican politicians by political ideology as well as age. Conservative Republicans oppose the U.S. taking steps to end up being carbon neutral by about a two-to-one margin (64% to 33%).
The youngest Republicans, ages 18 to 29, mainly support the U.S. taking actions to end up being carbon neutral by 2050 (67% favor). Assistance is lower amongst older Republicans, with bulks of those 50 and older opposing this objective. See Check For Updates for more information. Amongst Democrats, large bulks across age and political ideology say they favor the U.S.
Distinctions in between Republicans and Democrats are similarly large when it comes to the question of whether the U.S. should use a mix of eco-friendly and nonrenewable fuel source energy sources or should phase out using oil, coal and natural gas totally. An overwhelming bulk of Republican politicians (87%) believe the U.S.
By contrast, Democrats are approximately divided in their views: Half say the U.S. needs to use a mix of energy sources, while about the same share (49%) believes the U.S. must phase out making use of nonrenewable fuel sources entirely and rely instead on sources such as wind and solar. There are broad disagreements on this question among Democrats by ideology.
