Poll Shows Oregonians Overwhelmingly Reject the Low Carbon Fuel Standard
(firmenpresse) - PORTLAND, OR -- (Marketwired) -- 01/07/15 -- A new poll conducted by DHM Research shows that Oregonians oppose implementation of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) if the program will increase the cost of fuel.
The poll, of 400 registered voters on Dec. 18, 2014, used the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality''s own projections for fuel price increases under the LCFS.
It asked Oregonians if they would support or oppose implementation of the LCFS if they knew the cost of gasoline would increase between 6 and 19 cents per gallon -- . The poll found that Oregonians overwhelmingly oppose implementation of the LCFS by 56 percent, with only 38 percent of Oregonians supporting the increase. The number of those who strongly oppose the LCFS is almost double the number who strongly support the program -- 41 percent to 24 percent.
Further, the poll was conducted while Oregon was experiencing record-low fuel prices and, still, Oregonians overwhelmingly rejected increasing fuel prices under an LCFS program. The poll was paid for by the Oregon Fuels Association.
A copy of the question and context provided to those polled follows:
Oregonians for Sound Fuel Policy is a coalition of fuel users, consumers and business organizations opposed to the adoption of the proposed Clean Fuels Program in Oregon, also known as a Low Carbon Fuel Standard. For more information, visit .
