There are climate change policies that rural Americans—even Republicans—support

But huge chunks of climate change legislation would have broad support in rural America, if presented simply as standalone laws. Financial incentives to improve water and soil quality through buffers, cover crops, and other methods have massive support in the rural Midwest. Reducing pollution, especially from factories, has broad support. Making vehicles, including cars, trucks, tractors, and planes, more fuel efficient, also has broad support. In general, placing more environmental restrictions on corporations (and factories) has a ton of support; rural Midwesterners often reported feeling unfairly targeted, without the resources to skirt environmental protection laws as corporations do.
