Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Even though the past few years have seen many countries institute policies that encourage renewable energy, demand for fossil fuels remains high.
62% : Even in the United States, where the Biden administration's historic climate legislation from last year is unleashing hundreds of billions of dollars into the renewable energy industry, the production and demand of both oil and gas are forecast to grow.
59% : Amid the record profits fossil fuel companies made last year, some also extended timelines for production further into the future, in essence reneging on pledges to transition their businesses, however slowly, toward renewable energy.
56% : Critics of Willow have also warned that the project could undermine the president's climate record, which includes making landmark investments in clean energy, and alienate younger voters.
50% : The oil industry and nearly all Alaska lawmakers, such as Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Republican, argue that Willow will create jobs for Alaskans and revenue for the government.
41% : The cost of renewable energy sources like wind and solar were also rapidly declining to levels competitive with fossil fuels.
38% : Coal is a particularly dirty fossil fuel, and burning it remains a major producer of the greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the world.
