“Record-High 70 Percent Favor Nuclear Energy; Public Supports Planning for More Plants”

I think what sierraWasp is telling you is that you shouldn’t be peddling the discredited talking points of the anti-nuclear left. After almost 40 years of safe commercial electricity generation in the US, nuclear energy has gained a lot of credibility as an environmentally friendly, non-GHG-emitting, safe and economical source of energy. it can and should be part of our future energy mix, and people in the US agree with that view.

We can and we should increase our use of nuclear energy significantly in the future as we get beyond the fossil fuel age.

Nuclear power polls very well...so long as the nuclear plant is nowhere near the person being polled. Here in Texas we are building nuclear plants again. I even have property near one and it does not bother me a bit.

I'm all for it, but it is going to be a fight. I am also for a mix of energy generating sources for both domestic and transportation uses distributed country wide.

It's safe, environmentally not intrusive, very efficient, and yet it is undesirable politically.

Go figure....
