New Poll Shows Latino Voters in Arizona Are Big on Green Energy, Climate Action
A recent poll has revealed that Latino voters in Arizona want their leaders to take more action on climate and clean energy. The Latino vote played a decisive role during the 2020 elections in Arizona and is likely to be equally decisive in the upcoming election. According to a survey by environmental justice outfit Chispa AZ, this group is likely to side with candidates who align themselves with clean energy and other climate-change mitigation efforts.
After surveying 520 registered Latino voters in Arizona, the poll found that 70% of the respondents were concerned with climate change while 60% supported the state’s increasingly stringent green-energy requirements for electricity-powered utilities. According to analysts, the Latino vote could be a game changer in a state such as Arizona where President Joe Biden beat former President Donald Trump in the last election, with a small margin of 11,000 votes to become the first Democratic candidate to win Arizona in more than two and a half decades. Georgia was the only state in the country to have an even narrower margin in the hotly contested 2020 presidential elections.
With the November elections fast approaching, attracting the Latino vote could be critical to winning states such as Arizona. A report from the Latino Policy and Politics Initiative at the University of California Los Angeles noted that Arizona’s swing from red to blue in 2020 was largely due to densely populated Latino precincts in the state.
The NALEO Educational Fund predicts that the Latino demographic in Arizona will cast more than 855,000 votes in the coming elections, a nearly 60% increase from the 2016 elections. The jump in the number of Latinos interested in green-energy and climate change action could be due to the increase in record-breaking heat waves and the heat-associated fatalities, droughts and energy demands Arizona has seen during the past eight years.
As the effects of climate change have become less theoretical and more personal, a growing number of voters have found their priorities shifting to climate-change mitigation efforts such as electrification. A joint poll by Univision, Northern Arizona University and Arizona State University found that Arizona’s Latino voters considered abortion, inflation, gun safety and inflation as top issues.
Furthermore, the joint polling found that most Latino voters in the state were more drawn to the solutions offered by liberal candidates. The joint survey’s results were in line with what environmental justice organization Chispa AZ found: Arizona’s Latino voters are more likely to align themselves with Democratic candidates. This is especially likely after the current administration’s leadership led to a surge in solar-energy jobs and in the face of climate change-caused issues such as asthma and heat, which are more likely to affect minority and low-income communities.
For companies that focus on developing and selling green-energy solutions, such as Correlate Energy Corp. (OTCQB: CIPI), these revelations about voters scrutinizing candidates based on their views on climate action and clean energy show that the future of green-energy compaies is bright since the population is hankering for sustainable solutions.
