New Poll: Most Voters Prioritize U.S. Energy Independence Over Climate Fight
by Kevin Killough  Mar 28, 2025   
 
More than half of registered voters rate making America energy independent higher than the fight for climate change, according to a new poll by Napolitan News Service. [emphasis, links added]

According to the poll, 57% of voters hold that view, while 39% take the opposite position.


The poll found a wide divide between political parties, with 84% of Republicans prioritizing American energy independence over the fight for climate change and 31% of Democrats putting American energy first.

Only 14% of Republicans polled said fighting climate change is more important, whereas 65% of Democrats said it is.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I wonder how democrats will demonize this poll? :pondering:

39% ... 

This tells me that this war is not over.  Until this number gets to 10-15% (Green Antfa, Kooky Karen crowd), there is still a need to fight the disinformation.  Years of brainwashing do not evaporate overnight.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Years? Decades. The kids I refused to let watch "Captain Planet" are in their 50s now. Everything from cartoons to National Geographic to college texts is infused with this Anthropogenic Global Warming crap.
Base your science on fundamentally flawed assumptions, and it will take decades more to get this crap out of the system, and it won't be easy. The only 'revolution' I can think of in scientific thought that occurred within even a couple decades was the shift from Geosynclinal Theory to the recognition of Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics, and that was not a pretty transition, even though the evidence was overwhelming. It took a couple of decades, even fistfights among the opposing proponents before it was sorted out. Now, we have an even greater contingent of flat/hollow Earth believers and all sorts of other unsupported ideas running around, so the idea of any rational thought prevailing is one which will take time to prevail.

For decades, from the cradle, people have been programmed with the fear of humanity somehow dying in insane heat, alleging humanity has been controlling the climate through industrial production and 'destroying/killing' the planet. 

Suicidal tendencies follow, on a scale only lemmings can imagine.

They have been told their only hope for salvation is to shed any technological capability to "save" the planet, a course of action which will only lead to the collapse of civilization and possibly extinction of our species.

The only people really talking about doing anything that might actually affect the climate want to launch the next ice age by finding ways to block the sun, allegedly to keep us from 'suffering' the  effects of what are actually natural cycles, basing their beliefs on flawed nonsense, or worse, some sort of diabolical desire to massively cull humanity, with themselves deciding who is worthy, of course. The Georgia Guidestones were their plan, carved in stone.

Colonizing Mars might be our only hope if humanity is to survive irreversible decisions made on the basis of deeply flawed theory, by a few who think the intensity of their belief or their desire to 'rule the world' makes them right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
