Agree

Yes, temporarily while we increase investment into cleaner renewable alternatives

However, their support would be moderate due to their stronger preference for nuclear energy and minimal government intervention in the market.

Slightly agree

No, we should invest in cleaner alternatives such as wind, hydroelectric, thorium, and geothermal

While UKIP supports the use of nuclear energy, they have also shown some support for renewable energy sources. However, their main focus has been on energy independence and security, which might make them less enthusiastic about ruling out nuclear energy entirely in favor of cleaner alternatives.
