Political Group Survey: the PVS survey question on renewable energy
Source: PVS Survey
Project Vote Smart inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Energy and Environment: Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)?'
PVS self-description: "The Political Courage Test provides voters with positions on key issues. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
Also see the PVS survey question on greenhouse gases as a related survey question; the 2018 PVS survey question on renewable energy from a similar survey question; and the 2018 PVS survey question on regulating GHGs.
