Reply #35: The poll you quoted disproves your statement [View All]

"Increase coal mining" : Support 52, Oppose 45

"Develop more solar and wind power" : Support 91, Oppose 8

So your claim that those polled are somehow slanted toward coal is just plain wrong.

And at least the pro-nuclear power folks put their money where their mouth is: 66% want a nuclear power plant built near them. With all the so-called "environmentalists" working tirelessly to stop every solar power project in the southwest I wonder what the numbers would be for them. Hypocrisy.

Second, your (unattributed) poll numbers show clearly that those polled clearly favor energy efficiency, electric cars, solar and wind, and tougher auto regulations. So, if your assertion is true, people who favor nuclear power also heavily favor renewable energy and energy efficiency. That casts us pro-nuclear power folks in a very positive light. Thanks Kris.
