Public’s support of nuclear power waning; Brits and Americans buck the trend
A BBC poll enquiring about the public's appetite for nuclear power has delivered some surprising results.
The poll by GlobeScan, commissioned for the BBC, asked 23,231 people in 23 countries with nuclear programs their opinions on nuclear power.
It found that most are significantly more opposed to nuclear power than they were in 2005, with just 22% agreeing that "nuclear power is relatively safe and an important source of electricity, and we should build more nuclear power plants."
