They also strongly favor the plan’s investments in clean energy, with seven in 10 saying this makes them more likely to favor the plan, as well as transitioning to 100% clean sources by 2035.
Furthermore, these voters favor the proposed funding mechanisms for the AJP, including partially rolling back tax cuts on corporations and eliminating taxpayer-funded subsidies for oil and gas corporations.
