Description
Juan Martín and Alessandro Indelicato explore in 2026 why Americans differ in what they expect environmental rules to cost. They used a national survey panel and grouped answers about fuel prices, personal freedom, and jobs in fossil fuel areas. Fuzzy methods let people fall partly into more than one group rather than forcing a sharp split.
People who expected heavy costs were more often religious, conservative, older, and male. Views reflected religious identity and how strongly faith was held, not only politics or income. Because the items record expectations rather than measured effects, the authors treat the results as a map of belief, not proof of impact.
