If I were to guess, the Republicans were generally on-board with conservationism but took interest in energy independence once the wars off in West Asia following 9/11 go underway -- perhaps motivating some of them to want oil from here on the home front rather than from places that are (seemingly to some) unstable and populated by anti-American Islamists. Climate change is also now the central focus of the environmental movement, which doesn't play well with the anti-intellectual crowd and people who were fine alright with environmentalism only so long as the regulation was not going to meaningfully affect their traditional ways of life. Reintroduction of wolves hasn't gone over well in some rural areas, either, really.

Among Democrats the trend seems more in step with whether economic times are bullish or bearish.
