During the 2016 presidential campaign, President-elect Donald Trump made it very clear where he stands on energy policy, repeatedly calling for more drilling for oil, more fracking for natural gas, and more mining for coal. He championed unfettered access to fossil fuels, and promised that his administration would drastically cut spending on renewable energy research.

But Trump voters feel differently. According to a new poll released by the Republican polling firm Public Opinion Strategies, 75 percent of Trump voters support taking action to accelerate the development and use of clean energy in the United States. And an overwhelming majority say that it’s very important that their candidate share their opinions on energy issues.

Among renewables, Trump voters are especially supportive of solar power, with 61 percent saying that they want to see more emphasis on solar when it comes to domestic energy policy. Fifty-six percent want to see more emphasis on hydropower, and 52 percent want to see more emphasis on wind — the same percentage that want to see more emphasis on natural gas.

Fewer are interested in seeing renewed emphasis on coal — just 38 percent — while 26 percent want to see less emphasis.

I think most people are all for renewable energy as long as we're not being asked to pay for the development of it and then be charged higher rates than traditional sources of energy. So let the billionaires who will be profiting from the renewal energy pay for the development of it and I'll use it as long as it's comparable to oil, natural gas, and coal. Until then we need to do more drilling for oil, more fracking for natural gas, and more mining for coal.

By the way no matter what your article says, what I said above is also Trump's stance on energy. Our countries production will grind to a stop if we allow the government to rape us in taxes to pay for the renewable energy sources and then the owners of those operations rape us by charging us 3 times more than traditional sources of energy. Time for people to "Trump Up" engage their brains and call a spade a spade and stop being useful idiots of politicians who are trying to make their donors richer.
