I have this intuition that the support is not real, I can’t justify the position but i strongly suspect the expression of support would almost entirely evaporate in the face of plans to actually build a nuclear facility in any given town.

I guess I’m skeptical of the hypothetical support people claim when they have no skin in the game (I.e. no local construction plans and it’s currently obvious that no plans are possible anytime soon)

On a personal level I’ve felt pro-nuclear most of my life, it’s just in the last few years I’ve become, not anti nuclear but skeptical I suppose. I just can’t see a cost benefit in today’s world given the other options available.
