The EU is healing: A Majority Now Supports Nuclear Energy 💙
The top 5 most pro-nuclear countries:
1️⃣ Czechia (77%)
2️⃣ Finland (71%)
3️⃣ Poland (69%)
4️⃣ Denmark (66%)
5️⃣ France (66%)
I illustrated results from a brand new survey by
@EurobarometerEU, which asked EU Citizens the following question:
“Do you think nuclear energy will have a positive, negative, or no effect on our way of life in the next 20 years?”
Compared to the same survey in 2021, the positive attitude toward nuclear has increased by 10 percentage points across the EU.
A majority of EU Countries (16 out of 27) saw an increase in the proportion that thinks nuclear energy will have a positive effect on our way of life compared to 2021.
The largest increases can be observed in Denmark (66%, 22 pp), France (66%, 21 pp) and Germany (44%, 19 pp).
One of the biggest surprises? Denmark in the top 5! A country that has banned nuclear power for electricity production since 1999 and kept it out of national energy planning since 1985.
One thing is clear: EU Citizens increasingly support nuclear energy, and the trend is only growing.
