Washington, D.C. – With the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office facing potential cuts, Rainey Center sought to understand voter attitudes about the Department of Energy.
The latest polling found that voters are broadly supportive of the Department of Energy, though many were undecided, suggesting a lack of public attention to the topic. Voters supported common sense reforms such as merit-based hiring and promotion and standardized applications. Voters support an all of the above approach, believing the DOE should support all energy sources except for coal. Voters also support investments across all stages of technological development. Only 1 in 10 voters support cuts to the Loan Programs Office (LPO).
