Percent of People in Favor of Nuclear Power

The problem with surrounding yourself with informed educated people is you start to think that everybody in the world is as informed and educated. Therefore when I see charts like this;



I am harshly reminded just what an insanely high percent of the population are morons. How (with all the hype and worry about global warming not to mention our drive to become energy independent) could we only have a 44% support rate for nuclear power?

    But . . . wasn't nuclear power outlawed in the gospel of Saint Gore the Inconvenient Oracle?

    I want to buy a t-shirt from Cappin Cap that says:

    GO NUKES!

    BTW- Jimmy Carter banned us from "Recycling" our nuclear waste. We can burn the spent fuel rods over and over again, instead we are only allowed to burn them once giving us the storage problem.

    It all depends on how the question is worded. Other polls show different results. I have some not-especially-interesting remarks on this here.

    JR Hume, Mr. Gore is officially astraddle that question. Some not-especially-interesting remarks on this point can be found here.

    No, no, no. The reason that nuclear energy is a bad thing in this country, is because Jane Fonda made a movie in the 70's.

    The other reason, is because we would be hippocrates if we used more nuclear energy, while denying Iran, North Korea and Saddam's Iraq the same thing. It's that whole "moral equivalencey" thing.
