Freedumb! Americans Support Keystone XL, But Oppose Fracking, Poll Shows
EDIT
"There is no indication that awareness of the nation’s growing energy production is related to energy policy attitudes,” Pew said in its report. “For instance, among those who know that energy production is growing mostly from traditional sources, 57 percent prioritize developing alternative energy sources. That is about the same percentage (58 percent) among those who do not know this.”
Not surprisingly, one of the most controversial debates surrounding President Barack Obama’s second term, which centers on whether or not to approve the northern leg of the Keystone pipeline, has Americans divided on partisan lines. The president said in June he would only approve the Keystone if it did not “exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution.”
Eighty-two percent of Republicans favor the partially built pipeline, which would cost $7.6 billion and span 1,600-mile in two separate portions of pipe in the U.S. Sixty-four percent of independents and 51 percent of Democrats have shown their support for Keystone, as well.
In Texas and five other states the Keystone would run through, support levels are only slightly higher than everywhere else in the country, according to Pew.
