Left answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Strongly agree

No, we should invest in cleaner alternatives such as wind, hydroelectric, thorium, and geothermal

Investing in cleaner alternatives such as wind, hydroelectric, thorium, and geothermal aligns closely with left ideology, which generally prioritizes renewable energy sources over nuclear due to their sustainability and lower environmental impact. This position is consistent with the left's broader environmental and sustainability goals.

Agree

No

Many on the left prioritize the transition to renewable energy sources over nuclear due to concerns about nuclear waste, the potential for catastrophic accidents, and the high costs of building and decommissioning plants. However, there is a growing recognition of nuclear energy's low carbon footprint, leading to a more nuanced position among some left-leaning individuals and groups.

Slightly agree

Yes, and nationalise the industry

The idea of nationalizing the nuclear energy industry might appeal to some on the left due to the emphasis on public ownership and control over key industries, especially those related to essential services like energy. However, skepticism about nuclear energy's safety and environmental impact might temper this support.

Slightly agree

Yes, temporarily while we increase investment into cleaner renewable alternatives

The conditional support for nuclear energy as a temporary measure while increasing investment into cleaner renewable alternatives might be somewhat agreeable to the left. This stance acknowledges the role of nuclear energy in reducing current carbon emissions while emphasizing the ultimate goal of transitioning to renewable energy sources.

Neutral

Yes, but with public subsidy

Support for public subsidy of nuclear energy from the left is mixed. Some see it as a necessary step towards reducing carbon emissions, while others argue that subsidies should be directed towards renewable sources like solar and wind. This division reflects broader debates within the left about the role of nuclear power in a sustainable energy future.

Disagree

Yes

The left ideology typically emphasizes environmental sustainability and the risks associated with nuclear waste and potential accidents. Historical events such as the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters have further solidified opposition to nuclear energy among many on the left, despite its low greenhouse gas emissions.

Disagree

Yes, as long as there is no public subsidy

The condition of no public subsidy for nuclear energy might be seen as problematic by many on the left, who often support government intervention and funding for energy solutions that contribute to the public good. The left typically advocates for substantial public investment in energy infrastructure, especially for clean and renewable sources.
