It’s not the first time that new economic realities change political perspectives. Most Republicans in the U.S. reject any role of humans in global warming.

Renewable energy sources are also gaining appeal amongst Republicans because they bolster America’s energy independence and boost economic development in impoverished areas. Says former six-term Republican congressman Bob Inglis: “What I sense among Republicans is there is some belief that, yes, this does sound like a song we could sing.”
