Rising oil prices have increased support for nuclear energy to its highest level in a decade of Gallup polling.
Among adults responding to the company’s latest survey, 55% said they “somewhat” or “strongly” support nuclear energy, up 4 percentage points from 51% last year and the highest since 57% said the same in 2012.Tuesday.
Gallup first asked the question in 1994. Support reached a high of 62% in 2010 during a period of high oil and gas prices in the Obama administration, and a low of 44% in 2016 as prices dropped again before the election of President Donald Trump. Though nuclear energy has bipartisan support in Congress and Republican voters have consistently backed it since 2001, Gallup noted that “significant opposition remains, including from the president’s own party.”
