GOOD BY NUCLEAR RENAISSANCE! GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD GARBAGE!
The 46% of U.S. adults who support new reactors is a sharp drop from the 62% who favored them in a March 2010 Gallup Poll.
The findings echo those of a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll last week, which found that 70% of Americans are more concerned about industry safety as Japan struggles to avert a meltdown at three nuclear reactors in the aftermath of its March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
The CSI survey found 52% of Americans living within 50 miles of a nuclear reactor do not know "what to do in the event of nuclear reactor emergency," such as "the evacuation route and what other steps to take," and 24% say they live within such a distance.
•51% would support "a halt to the United States extending the operating lifespan of its oldest nuclear reactors."
•58% are now "less supportive of expanding nuclear power in the United States" than they were a month ago. Only 14% said their views had not been changed by the Japanese reactor crisis.
•73% do not "think taxpayers should take on the risk for the construction of new nuclear power reactors in the United States through billions of dollars in new federal loan guarantees."
•74% would support "a shift of federal loan-guarantee support for energy away from nuclear reactors" in favor of wind and solar power.:nuke:
•76% are now "more supportive than … a month ago to using clean renewable energy resources – such as wind and solar – and increased energy efficiency as an alternative to more nuclear power in the United States."
