I'm not convinced this poll is much indication of anything; it's just asking about a weird carbon tax scheme.

> Suppose a proposal was on the ballot next year to add a monthly fee to consumers' monthly electricity bill to combat climate change. If this proposal passes, it would cost your household $____ every month. Would you vote in favor of this monthly fee to combat climate change, or would you vote against this monthly fee?

  $1/month:    57% favor
  $10/month:   28% favor
  $20/month:   30% favor
  $40/month:   23% favor
  $75/month:   15% favor
  $100/month:  16% favor

A more useful question would be: "Would you oppose climate change regulations that had the effect of increasing your energy bills $10/month?"

It's a dumb proposition to begin with. Why am I paying extra just so that these companies can implement these changes without dinging profits?

Energy should be a loss-leader for society. It should lose money every year, and then we pay whatever is necessary for them to break even and continue operating. This goes for healthcare, housing, transportation, and education, too. If you want to "innovate" gainfully, pick up a paintbrush. We shouldn't be subsidizing the profits of mature sectors, especially if they're not actually doing anything new and simply doubling down on the behaviors that are leading us to ruin.
