It is also linked to a notion that any interference in energy policy comprises government meddling in the Free Market and will lead to our eventual enslavement.

As if the US government did not already meddle in and regulate energy policy by using the US military to secure access to foreign energy resources, to protect shipping and pipeline routes and to build and maintain a road system for petroleum-based vehicles.

Not sure its that so much as the deniers declaring that any effort to control emissions will have a catastrophically dire effect on our economy, something that truly resonates in current economic times. When one side says “We need to make these changes to ensure a future for our children” and the other says “If we make these children, the government’s gonna yank the money out of your kids mouths and tax you extra for those kids,” which side you think will get more support?
