According to a recent study by a twitter user, there has been a significant decline in public support for renewable energy among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents in the United States. The data reveals that 64% of Republicans now favor more solar panel farms, down from 84% in 2020. Similarly, only 56% of Republicans are in favor of wind turbine farms, a 19-point drop from 2020.
In contrast, Democrats and Democratic-leaning individuals have maintained their support for renewable energy. Large majorities among these groups continue to back the development of solar and wind power.
