Voters Disapprove of Repealing Clean Energy Tax Credits

Summary

As discussions over how to avoid defaulting on our debt continue, Republicans in Congress are preparing to vote to repeal clean energy credits that were key to the Inflation Reduction Act. Data for Progress and Climate Power conducted a national survey from April 21-23, 2023, of 1,259 likely voters, gauging their opinion on the Republican plan to repeal these crucial climate provisions under threat of economic sabotage. 

We find that a majority of voters are opposed to tying together debt default and repealing clean energy tax credits, and do not want lawmakers to roll back the key climate provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act. The Republican plan being voted on this week is a political loser.
