Reply #1: I recomend everyone read the actual report. Green peace glosses over a lot.

Some highlights of what I found interesting:

France is not that pro nuclear (about middle of the pack when it comes to EU).

Europeans believe nuclear energy reduces energy imports by 3 to 1 (Agree to disagree).
Europeans believe nuclear energy leads to more competitive and stable prices by a margin of 3 to 2 (Agree to Disagree).

Although Greenpeace tries to play it as a negative:
Europeans are more likely to agree than disagree with statement that nuclear energy helps to limit climate change 46% to 36%.


A country that continually answers very pro-nuclear (almost always) at top of country list is Denmark but Denmark doesn't have any reactors....

The anti-nuclear sentiment is not evenly distributed in Europe. There are pockets with very high anti-nuclear sentiment but most of them have no nuclear reactors and no plans for new ones meaning that sentiment is unlikely to shape future politics.

Pro-nuclear answers directly correlates to higher education.
Age doesn't correlate at all (equally pro/anti nuclear among young, middle aged, old).
Men more pro-nuclear than women.
Countries with nuclear power tend to be more pro-nuclear.
Former soviet bloc countries tend to be mixed bag with some pro-nuclear and some strongly anti-nuclear

This question:
In your opinion, should the current level of nuclear energy as a proportion of all energy
sources be reduced, maintained the same or be increased?
.....2006 2009
Reduced. 39% 34% -5%
Maintain 34% 39% +5%
Increase 14% 17% +3%
Not Sure 13% 19% -3%

Of course even maintaining share of nuclear energy requires new reactor construction.
