The survey was commissioned by VoteVets.org, a group that has backed work in Congress to pass broad energy and climate change legislation.

If you take a poll asking Americans if we should “wean ourselves off of foreign” ANYTHING you will get a majority yes response. Just more typical Dem spin/propaganda to push Cap n Tax.
