摘要
Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) programs are a primary renewable energy policy. We design an experimental survey to examine how public support for RPS programs is affected by requiring in-state renewable energy generation to meet renewable targets. We consider how the influence of this design feature matters across key voter characteristics. Overall, we find strong support for RPS programs and that majority support often depends on the RPS program requiring local renewable energy generation. We find that environmental concerns drive support while economic concerns drive opposition, with local generation requirements boosting support among those concerned about local issues.
