Whether you label it as a "scientific measurement" or not is unimportant; what matters is how relevant and accurate the information is. It claims a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points, but that is likely at a mere 80% confidence level. Regardless of numbers, the article appropriately notes that "Californians have not thought about nuclear energy for about 20 years and do not have as much information as they did around Three Mile Island." BTW, if Wall Street refuses to fund nuclear, why should it hold any more precedence than cleaner alternative energy resources?? For the $billion$ it takes to fund just one nuclear plant (not to mention maintaining it, providing security for it, and providing safe storage for waste), I could build wind farms producing just as much electricity. Nuclear require subsidies to continue running, as do many wind farms... so why choose the riskier alternative?? Why choose the alternative which produces the nastiest byproduct ever created?? Completely ridiculous.
