There is something curious about these poll numbers on support for
various policies. If you assume they are unbiased indicators of how
representatives would vote you get:
1. CO2 limits (53%)
2. Alternatve fuels (88%)
3. Greater nuke plant reliance (74%)
4. Higher fuel efficiency (67%)
5. Cap and trade (62%)
In all cases, they have enough support to get the bills past a
Democratic committee and be voted in. Even nuke plants have 58%
support from the Dems.
But alternative fuels are perhaps the only one that is really getting
the support needed to pass bills.
I think you need to discount the poll numbers by about 1/3.
