Fifty-six percent (56%) of Americans say they are not willing to pay more in taxes and utility costs to generate cleaner energy and fight global warming.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, taken since the climate change bill was passed on Friday, finds that 21% of Americans are willing to pay $100 more per year for cleaner energy and to counter global warming. Only 14% are willing to pay more than that amount.
Fifty-two percent (52%) of all adults say it is more important to keep the cost of energy as low as possible than it is to develop clean, environmentally friendly sources of energy. But 41% disagree and say developing cleaner, greener energy sources is the priority.
Sixty-three percent (63%) rate creating jobs as more important than taking steps to stop global warming. For 22%, stopping global warming is more important.

The solution is let the 21% pay for it!
Man made global warming is a farce. Do people realize how miniscule relative to the universe???
Too late! Many of these same people voted for the idiots in the White House and Congress.
All this means is 30% think that since they don’t pay any taxes they could care less and don’t think it will affect them, and the other 14% are just hoping Mother Earth loses her fever and feels better like Algore swears she will.
Where was this 56% last November?
Too late now - sell everything you own and live with it.
Nobody has any money to buy anything with.
This does not include cost passed on to the consumer by business due to government regulation along with their levies, taxes, fees and surcharges from these same taxing entities.
Almost 45% of an average Americans income goes to satisfy the above mentioned taxes from these various entities.
Enough is enough already.
Imagine this 45% rising to 51, 53, 55% due to Universal health care, Cap and Trade, Amnesty for illegals, National sales tax, growth in the number of government jobs.
The majority of our income will go to Uncle Sugar....at this point will become a big huge commune where big brother government sucks up the majority of the wealth and doles it out as big brother sees fit.
Hey, here's an idea.........we can call it, COMMUNISM.
41% of Americans should be put against the wall and shot.
LLS
“Where was this 56% last November?” They thought Obama had a line...to bad it is total BS!
[A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, taken since the climate change bill was passed on Friday, finds that 21% of Americans are willing to pay $100 more per year for cleaner energy and to counter global warming.]
These are of them who profess themselves to be wise but are fools indeed.
The 56% should know that the Democrats aren’t listening. They’re planning on riding “global warming” into a happy political and financial sunset, and the public be damned.
Look folks...THERE IS NO GLOBAL WARMING. It is a SCAM thought up by politicians to get more tax monies out of us.
“Rasmussen: 56% Dont Want To Pay More To Fight Global Warming”
Not to worry. Cap and trade is all about nationalization and has nothing to do with global warming, which the world is beginning to realize is a huge fiction anyway.
Start local, think global.
Well, it's a sure cure for all ills!
CA....
This will be buried and ignored in the same manner as Barry had the EPA bury the study showing that Global Warming is not what these wacko’s are making it out to be.
