Don’t care won’t be there to see the world burn sadly

 @9L8N38Pdisagreed…4wks4W

see the world burn

The most accurate temperature projection by 2100, judging by public awareness and falling birth rates, means that the Earth will probably be around 2 degrees warmer than it is now. I woudn't call that the world 'burning'. Even if we take absolute worst case scenario which would be about 4 degrees, that's still not apocalypse. Life thrived at nearly twice the temperature that the Earth is now, 60 million years ago. And that was after a rock from space wiped out almost all life. What is more concerning is desertification, but scientists know much less about that and so are largely guessing its effects. And we have many solutions to it like irrrigation, desalination and building reservoirs. And anyway, one of the ways we can slow climate change is through investing in nuclear, as it is safe, clean, and efficient.

 @93WNHXKanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as long as there is strict training of nuclear power plant workers and thorough, regular monitoring and review of equipment functionality, energy release and measures to mitigate potential hazards.

 @93RBYNCanswered…2yrs2Y

 @9LQ7RT6answered…5 days5D

Nationalise and militarise the industry, and have the armed forces running, guarding and protecting the bases.

 @9LP6YSQanswered…7 days7D

Yes, but I think a better option is to invest in cleaner alternatives such as wind, hydroelectric, thorium, and geothermal

 @9LP49RSanswered…7 days7D

Yes, and offer a capped number of shares to the public to ensure a financial return in addition to protecting energy infrastructure and public oversight.

 @9LNSGGBanswered…1wk1W

using it sustainable can be a good solution, using it ultimately temporarily while increasing use of green energy

 @9LD6X8Lanswered…3wks3W

No, we should go all in on renewable energy. Nuclear energy should be a last resort as we have no real solution for dealing with the waste

 @8TCK6V9answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and invest in the better diposal of the waste along with investing in other clean energy sources.

 @8T9W7R3answered…3yrs3Y

Not really a question of ‘do you support’ it’s more a question of, is it essential and if so then yes, if not no

 @8T8YRSKanswered…3yrs3Y

No, only because I am not well educated enough in the matter to know whether it produces more toxic waste or if it is an efficient way to produce energy and what the alternative would be.

 @8T3Y6SFanswered…3yrs3Y

 @8SW4VK7answered…3yrs3Y

Nuclear for energy is brilliant and it's clean problem is no one has come up with the solution where they're going to put all the nuclear waste

 @9L55SJ2answered…1mo1MO

Yes but only until we are able to move to cleaner alternatives. No more nuclear power stations should be commissioned and contracts for nuclear power should not be awarded to companies owned by potentially hostile foreign powers, eg China.

 @9KLK3YZanswered…2mos2MO

Yes whilst we increase funding and preparation for cleaner forms of energy- nuclear energy should be nationalised to prevent companies from ‘over-profiting’ on peoples necessities.

 @9K8GX8Kanswered…2mos2MO

If we can push the efficiency of nuclear energy and keep investing in research around safety and best options for disposing of waste, nuclear energy could answer some of the worlds energy crisis, but it shouldn’t be ur main or our long-term option

 @9J844ZJLabouranswered…3mos3MO

Yes, it is better for the environment and would essentially solve the energy crisis with unlimited clean energy

 @9J46W2Manswered…3mos3MO

yes we should use alternatives like wind or solar energy but we also need some nuclear energy to fix planes and the over and underground trains

 @9J2R4KCanswered…4mos4MO

Nationalise the energy industry, and use nuclear while we increase invest in other green alternatives.

 @9HWPNMYanswered…4mos4MO

Yes, but we should focus on making the technology safer. We should also be investing in cleaner alternatives and battery technology to allow them to take over in time.

 @9H94FRHLibertariananswered…5mos5MO

Yes, as long as these power sources are able to run themselves should an event happen that requires people to no longer keep them manned. I don't want another Chernobyl incident and I would like for a town or city or country to not be wiped from the map and have irreversible conditions formed over them.

 @9H5YF5Tanswered…5mos5MO

It is contextual to the location of the development and the regional hazard exposure/vulnerabilities

 @9GX66LManswered…6mos6MO

Yes, but increase funding to renewables and research into nuclear fuels that do not produce weaponizable material as a by-product (e.g. thorium)

 @9GL5LS6answered…6mos6MO

Yes and party nationalise the industry to keep energy prices cheap. Also increase the use of other renewable sources too. Make all energy companies owned by the UK wholly, no foreign shares should have a stake in UK energy companies.

 @9GDXWBYanswered…6mos6MO

Some what In the middle. It's bad for the environment but it can be useful and helpful I that area.

 @9G9JYN5answered…6mos6MO

Not conventional nuclear power station but yes to new modular nuclear reactors being developed but we should continue to use Coal and Natural Gas and it should all be publicly owned.

 @9G5MCLJanswered…7mos7MO

I support it, and it should be nationalised while we look into renewable alternatives, not for the climate, but for efficiency and economic gain.

 @9FXK3X3from Georgia answered…7mos7MO

Yes, so long as that independent committees of nuclear physicists are responsible for the operation of these plants, to avoid accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima Daichi

 @9FRN3HYanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, nuclear is part of a tapestry of energy supply that is needed to ensure independence and stability

 @9FRFHMSanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, though the risks and long term waste and impact should be noted and looked into, this would include more funding in research and ONR (Office for Nuclear Regulation)

 @9FN8PSZanswered…7mos7MO

temporarily with 100% focus on safety and not run by any private company in any way

 @9FL2HNRanswered…7mos7MO

 @9FKFD5Manswered…7mos7MO

 @9FJTBGDanswered…7mos7MO

It is fine, however renewables, hydrogen, and when it's finally possible, nuclear fusion are better.

 @9FJTBGDanswered…7mos7MO

It is fien, however renewables, hydrogen, and when it's finally possible, nuclear fusion are better.

 @9FHZBDManswered…7mos7MO

If it's causing major damage to the environment then no, if not then I guess I do.

 @9FHWJHSanswered…7mos7MO

I like that it is a clean source of energy but it is not one hundred percent perfect

 @9FGVLSFanswered…7mos7MO

Only as a last resort as nuclear energy is dangerous when not handled carefully

 @9FC4X5Banswered…7mos7MO

Yes, but only in areas which are distant from settlements and the public

 @9F9H2LKLabouranswered…8mos8MO

Yes, as long we develop a safe way to store waste and prevent disasters
