    Yeah, they love it and are constantly criticizing the left for chasing renewables as a solution to our energy needs and (for the less extreme ones who accept it’s real) climate change.

        Yeah, attitudes have really cooled about nuclear power over the years. We might be in a different climate position right now if we hadn’t shied away from it decades ago.

          Climate, and geopolitical too. Look at France vs Germany in the last few years.

      In what world does a 51% approval rating count as loving it? 67% feels like a stretch to even call a consensus.

        Well they don’t seem to love it as much as they love coal and oil, that’s for sure, but they have been very loud about their support of nuclear in recent history.

        It’s become much more bipartisan too.
