Do you support the use of nuclear energy?

It’s too expensive and the waste is dangerous

Yes, but we do not need a powerplant in our country, it's a waste of resources

No but we need to nationalise the industry

We should look for new ways to make less waste from it

Yes as long as the plant is no where ear where I live.

Only under intense regulation and management. But as an interim energy source while implementing renewables.

i dont know enough about this

Only if there is no other option

Not worth the cost for a small country

Yes, it is the cleanest for of energy

Yes, nationalise the industry, and invest in research to make sure we find a cleaner or even a more efficient way. And fast if possible.

I mean if a Chernobyl happens in Ireland we’re screwed

Maybe- depending on safety

Not in Ireland, but support France's use. I don't think it's suitable for Ireland, given the size of the country and proximity to the gulf stream.

i support the research but the inefficiencies and waste nuclear products that are produced force me to side against current energy.

If nuclear fusion is discovered to be viable to use for electricity absolutely but we must explore other alternatives first.

Yes, Nuclear power reactors do not produce direct carbon dioxide emissions so it helps the environment, nuclear power would help deliver energy at more affordable prices and Ireland is safe when it come to earthquakes, hurricanes , tsunamis, natural disasters that can create disasters.

Yes, as long as appropriate safety mechanisms are in place to prevent disasters

It can be both good and bad

Yes , however I think the government should look into thorium as opposed to uranium and molten salt reactors

I don’t have an informed opinion.

The reason I can afford is the increase of geothermal and delivery the right people new Zealand and Australian Japan Pacific with water waste teams of councils

This is a difficult question. Nuclear power has positives and negatives.

Yes, but it is not necessarily economical for Ireland itself.

Yes until we find greener options

Yes so I can make it malfunction and blow up

Yes, in the safest ways possible.

Yes, as long as its done as safe as possible and waste is disposed of correctly

When nuclear fission becomes possible and safe then yes, but the danger of the spent fuel rods is far too high, and we should invest in more renewable forms of energy.

I am neutral on the matter.

as a last option prefer that we try to invest more in renewables

Yes. It's less dangerous than coal, oil or gas. It may be too difficult at our scale, but as a European venture, any increase in non-renewable energy should be nuclear.

Maritime based wind power should be used directly to generate hydrogen, which is stored adjacent to land-based power stations and burned as required.

Yes, and more funding should be invested into new reactor designs that can extract more energy out of new nuclear pellets and reuse spent nuclear pellets.

Yes but make sure it isn’t used for dangerous purposes

Yes, but it has to be a very well thought out system with essentially no risk to public safety. No cost can be spared on public safety. Small scale modular reactors may offer this opportunity.

Yes, but only in the instance where costs are considerably cheaper that cleaner renewable sources.

I support importing nuclear energy from France, but Ireland is too small and doesn't have the expertise to efficiently provide its own nuclear energy.

We need a clean air act which would allow more funding into leaner renewable alternatives with subsidies

yes, however its cheaper and quicker to invest and nationalize other alternatives eg wind and solar

if it ois safe

Yes. Nuclear energy isn't like what it's portayed as. Its infinitely safer than goal and gas energy.
