"Driving the news: Fabrizio, Lee & Associates polled what it calls a "GOP+" sample - a mix of Republicans, GOP-leaning independents and Trump voters. It found 51% favor utility-scale solar (large plants that generate electricity fed directly into the grid), while 30% oppose it. The share in favor soars to 70% if the panels are made in domestic factories, using U.S. materials, and have no ties to China."
"68% agree with the statement: "[W]e need all forms of electricity generation, including utility solar, to be built to lower electricity costs." Catch up fast: Tony Fabrizio, a partner in the firm, has been chief pollster for President Trump's campaigns. The big picture: "GOP+ voters want America to have energy independence and for their electric bills to be affordable," a polling memo states. "They understand that utility solar energy is a key aspect in allowing that to happen.""
A Fabrizio, Lee & Associates poll of GOP+, including Republicans, GOP-leaning independents and Trump voters, found 51% favor utility-scale solar and 30% oppose. Support rises to 70% when panels are made in domestic factories with U.S. materials and no ties to China. Sixty-eight percent agree that all forms of electricity generation, including utility solar, are needed to lower electricity costs. Solar manufacturers seek Treasury rules to restrict tax credits to projects without Chinese equipment and want to avoid permitting barriers that block access to incentives. Industry leaders emphasize solar’s role in lowering costs, boosting grid reliability, and supporting American jobs, while observers watch for policy shifts from the administration.
