“Strong” opposition outstrips strong support, 47-20 percent. Opposition is up from 53 percent in a 2008 poll, and strong opposition is up even more, by 24 points.

This ABC News-Washington Post poll was conducted by telephone April 14-17, 2011, among a random national sample of 1,001 adults, including landline and cell-phone-only respondents. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points....

Still, there are differences among groups; opposition is higher among Democrats (75 percent, vs. 59 percent of Republicans and independents combined), women (73 percent, vs. 53 percent of men) and liberals (74 percent, vs. 60 percent of moderates and conservatives)...

1. Count me among the 75% that opposes them.

We are wasting our money on nuclear. Sooner or later, a Chernobyl or a Fukushima will happen here (assuming Fukushima doesn't just finish mankind off). Better just to shut down the nuclear plants and move on to safe, renewable energy. We will end up closing the nuclear facilities sooner or later. Better to start sooner.
