Yesterday we mentioned that natural gas is the fuel of the future. We got some pushback because we left out the second of the “Two Ns” in energy: nuclear power. We like it and it makes far more sense than wind and solar power.

Good news. Support for nuclear power is growing – though Americans still foolishly favor the wind and solar mythology.

Pew reports that “Americans in both parties now see nuclear power more positively” with support among Democrats up 12 points since 2020 to 49 percent, and up 14 points with Republicans during the same period.

As a sign that anti-nuclear hysteria is easing, even Tim Walz, the greenest of governors, lifted Minnesota’s moratorium on building nuclear plants. In a country that’s polarized on almost every issue, nuclear power may be one issue where we are slowly reaching a new consensus.
