Poll: Strong support for renewable energy, as long as it doesn’t cost much

NEI: Survey leaves out growing support for nuclear energy

 

The majority of citizens in the U.S. and larger European countries back renewable energy, according to a new Financial Times/Harris survey. The poll does not mirror separate findings from Pew Research Center and Gallup that indicated larger support for nuclear energy, said Scott Peterson, a spokesman for the Nuclear Energy Institute. He also cited an Energy Information Administration outlook, which estimated that the "levelized" power cost from new nuclear technology in 2016 will be lower when compared with solar and wind.
