The use of nuclear energy is gaining ground in Switzerland with a new poll showing 52% are in favour of the use of reactors and against the country’s ban on building new ones.
The poll, by Demoscope on behalf of the Swiss Nuclear Forum, showed 37% are against nuclear and 11% do not know.
The share of nuclear supporters has increased by 8% compared to a February 2022 poll, the Swiss Nuclear Forum said.
Ninety percent of those in favour of nuclear energy said it is needed to provide enough electricity. This was an increase of three percent over the February poll.
