Replication Data for: "Partisan Energy Mix Priorities in the United States: Republicans Prioritize Price, Democrats Also Consider Renewables"

How does partisanship affect preferences for renewable energy in the United States? Using a nationally representative conjoint experiment (n = 1,862) to simulate Americans' energy mix choices from investor-owned utilities and Community Choice Aggregations, this study analyzes the relative salience of price, percentage of renewables, and local renewable energy sourcing. The conjoint experiment reveals that Republicans' and independents' choice of energy mix is mostly determined by the monthly electricity bill, whereas Democrats' choice of energy mix is determined equally by the monthly electricity bill and by the percentage of renewables. No group prioritized whether the renewable energy was locally sourced. These results suggest that financial incentives and cost savings are crucial for promoting renewable energy adoption, especially among Republicans and independents. These findings contribute to the literature on partisan attitudes towards renewable energy and reaffirm the need for tailored communication strategies in an era of partisan polarization.
