Support for nuclear energy in the United States has reached its highest level in over a decade, according to a new Gallup poll, with 61 percent of adults in favor of using nuclear power. This marks a six-point jump from 2023 and brings public support within one percentage point of the record high set in 2010.
Grace Stanke, nuclear engineer and former Miss America, is on a national tour in Australia advocating for nuclear power. Her visit coincides with rising political tensions ahead of a national election, where the opposition Liberal Party proposes building seven nuclear reactors by 2035.
