Liberals are typically thought to be concerned with climate change, and conservatives are thought to be less so. But according to a new poll from Pew Research, that’s starting to change. While 75 percent of conservative baby boomers are in favor of offshore drilling, just 44 percent of millennial conservatives agreed. In the same study, it was also found that 80 percent of millennial voters in general are in favor of increasing alternative forms of energy like wind and solar. The older generations may not have climate change at the top of their priorities, but the younger generations surely will.
