Republicans support a price on carbon
75% of Republicans under 40
A majority of Republicans, especially young Republicans, want to see the government take action to limit America’s carbon pollution. 75% of Republicans under 40 support putting a price on carbon the money given as a monthly cash payment to people.
Growing political support
Support for climate action is growing among Republican politicians, who want to address climate change with solutions that solve the problem while creating a level playing field for businesses and taking care of low and middle income families. Recently, 25 Utah State Republican elected officials advocated for adoption of a price on carbon with a monthly cash payment.
