47% Irish people against nuclear power. 25% in favour.
@AmarachResearch ran a poll of 1600 people prompted by this evening’s Hot Mess on @RTERadio1
We posed a number of questions 1/
Q1: Should Ireland consider nuclear energy to achieve its climate change targets?
Yes: 31%
No: 42%
Q2: Should the govt concentrate on developing renewable sources of energy and leave the legislative ban on nuclear power in place?
Yes: 58%
No: 21%
Q3. Should the government conduct feasibility studies on the potential for nuclear here?
Yes: 51%
No: 31%
Q4. Should the government exclude nuclear as a means of achieving energy security?
Yes: 40%
No: 38%
And general attitudes …
The unanswered question is, if looking at these numbers, would any of the large political parties embrace even a limited pro nuclear policy.
Here’s the episode of Hot Mess that considers the practicality of nuclear power.
