Australia should go nuclear: poll
Most Australians generally support the idea of the country having nuclear power, a new poll has found.
The study found two-thirds of the population either support nuclear power or don't have an opinion.
Ed, I wouldn't take this too seriously; online polls are notoriously inaccurate.
Even assuming that nuclear power was accepted by the Australian public in the abstract, it's an open question whether those near a proposed plant will (regardless of the excellent environmental and safety record of nuclear facilities).
Look at the fuss made about, say, the desalination plant at Wonthaggi in Victoria.
