A majority of U.S. voters say the government should regulate greenhouse gases linked to global warming and that the Environmental Protection Agency is up to the job, a poll for the Natural Resources Defense Council found.
Regulating global-warming gases from power plants and refineries is supported by 60 percent of likely voters and opposed by 34 percent, according to the survey commissioned by the environmental group, which backs such curbs. A smaller majority, 54 percent, say they are confident in the EPA’s ability to control greenhouse gases.
