When asked if all forms of electricity generation, including utility‑scale solar, should be allowed to compete fairly in the marketplace without political interference, 79% of GOP voters agreed. The survey polled 800 Republicans, Republican-leaning independents and Trump voters. Of those surveyed, 68% said they agreed with the statement, “We need all forms of electricity generation, including utility solar, to be built to lower electricity costs.” In a memo, Fabrizio, Lee & Associates noted that when solar energy is American-made, the number of respondents “strongly” in favor more than doubles from 17% to 36%.
