Survey shows nuclear power is very unpopular

support for nuclear power still pales in comparison to renewable sources.

(UK) Nuclear power is more unpopular than we’re led to believe | Liberal Conspiracy,  July 5, 2010 New polling sheds some light both on where the public stand in terms of different power options, ……At a basic level, nuclear power is currently pretty much the least popular form of power generation in the UK.1. When asked favourability towards different sources, it comes in at the bottom of the pile – around the same place as both coal and gas.
2. There is strong local opposition to the construction of new nuclear power stations. While three in four claim they would support wind farms being built within five miles of their home, only a quarter say the same about a new nuclear station………….when nuclear is put directly in comparison with renewable sources, which remain far more popular….nuclear would still only be grudgingly tolerated, not embraced like renewables, and there will be a powerful local resistance to any new plants……support for nuclear power still pales in comparison to more renewable sources.
