Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant: The WikiBook/orphaned pages/US public opinion shifts in the aftermath
USA edit
A new CBS poll found that 50 percent of Americans now oppose building new nuclear plants, up from 34 percent the last time the poll was conducted in 2008.
[1] Only 43 percent, meanwhile, approve of building more nuclear plants - a drop of 14 points from the 2008 poll. [2]
On March 22, 2011 Rachel Maddow blasted the DCPP to the sound of a cash register ringing as she recounted a history of errors at the plant. [[1]
Information, please edit
As reported on the non partisan Civil Society Institute website, a 2005 Congressional study on water supply impact of American production is apparently being suppressed as it has become the target of a Freedom of Information Action (FOIA) litigation filed by the Civil Society Institute (CSI) vs the Department of Energy (DOE) and U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
Europe edit
Even the French bowed to public opinion pressures after the Fukushima accident.[4]
