Americans Still Favor Nuke Power

In the wake of the massive Japanese earthquake, a residual aftermath is the possibility of a total meltdown at one Japan's nuclear power stations and a Chernobyl style disaster.
I do not want to diminish the possibility of a total meltdown and a wide swath of surrounding area being uninhabitable for generations. That is what happened in Chernobyl.
But before that possibility occurs, for it has not happened as of this post, I think that this poll is interesting.
Yes, I know that it is not scientific. Yes, I know it is on the Fox News Channel website. And yes, I voted in the majority. But look at the number of people that have voted. While 80+% out of over 70,000 maybe high, it takes an effort to actually spend a few seconds and clicks to state ones opinion.
I think that the majority of Americans want to take a wait-and-see attitude before succumbing to mindless "We can not do nuclear! The risks are too high!" mantra.
Me, I favor the all of the above and or smorgasbord approach. Everything should be explored and utilized to meet our energy needs. But realistically.
In other words, in the grand scheme of things, nuclear power has been safe. The fact is that there have been many accidents and destruction at conventional power plants over nuclear ones. The Chernobyl disaster was very unique because it happened in the then still very secretive Soviet Union. When it was a communist land. There was not the kind of 24/7 news cycle that may have prevented it from spiraling out of control as it did. And because of the cover-up, it became synonymous with those who believe that nuclear power is more of a danger than something good.
No question, a nuke plant must be very heavily regulated. And it should be. But again, look at the safety record for nuke plants vs. conventional power plants.
We need to continue and be serious about developing more, not less, nuclear power. And we can learn a lot from this experience in building new plants.
And most important we must keep all those trying to contain the damage at the Fukushima No.1 power plant in our prayers. They do need it.
