N.C. Voters Reject High-Cost Climate Policies

RALEIGH – Nearly two-thirds of North Carolina voters oppose climate change legislation that would raise gasoline prices or electricity rates, according to a new poll. Opposition grows as the potential costs increase, according to the July Civitas Decision Maker poll.

“This poll clearly demonstrates what any thinking person could have guessed: North Carolinians are not willing to pay more for climate policies that will have no measurable impact on the climate,” said Dr. Roy Cordato, the John Locke Foundation’s Vice President for Research and Resident Scholar. “Legislators should keep these poll results in mind as alarmists continue to push costly measures in the name of fighting global warming.”
