That was the conclusion reached in a scientific investigation published on September 7 in the biological journal "Proceedings of the Royal Society B," published by the Royal Society of the United Kingdom.
Dr. Nicholas Kerry, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, and a team of over twenty other academics conducted four studies and surveys involving 2,610 adults.
Conservatism was defined for the purposes of this research as "a tendency to prefer safer, more traditional behaviours, social organizations and sources of moral guidance, alongside cultural ingroup preference and resistance to cultural change."

To do this, researchers perform “life cycle assessments” or LCAs. As explained by the Environmental Protection Agency, LCAs allow for:

The Biden administration signed an agreement Tuesday night to stop oil drilling that had been authorized under 113 permits in three Western states, Fox Business reported.
Remember that when President Joe Biden and his team say it’s the corrupt old oil companies that drag their feet on oil production because they want their profits and stuff and that means there’s not enough oil and that’s why gas costs so much and it’s not our fault and …
