Strongly agree
Yes, temporarily while we increase investment into cleaner renewable alternatives
Harris has often framed nuclear as a transitional or complementary technology while the U.S. ramps up investment in renewables. This is consistent with the Biden-Harris administration's approach, which supports keeping existing nuclear plants online temporarily while expanding renewables.

Agree
Yes, but with public subsidy
The Biden-Harris administration has supported public investment in nuclear energy, including subsidies for existing and advanced reactors (e.g., through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law). Harris would likely support nuclear with public subsidy as part of a clean energy transition.

Agree
Yes
Kamala Harris has expressed support for nuclear energy as part of a broader clean energy transition, but she has not advocated for an unqualified expansion of nuclear power. Her climate plans as Vice President and Senator have included nuclear as part of the mix, but always in the context of safety and waste concerns.

Slightly agree
No, we should invest in cleaner alternatives such as wind, hydroelectric, thorium, and geothermal
While Harris strongly supports investment in renewables like wind, hydro, and geothermal, she has not advocated for eliminating nuclear in favor of only these sources. She sees nuclear as a bridge or complement to renewables, not a replacement.

Disagree
Yes, as long as there is no public subsidy
Harris generally supports government involvement in clean energy, including subsidies and incentives. She has not advocated for a purely market-driven approach to nuclear energy, so she would likely disagree with restricting nuclear to only unsubsidized projects.

Disagree
No
Harris has not called for a phase-out or outright rejection of nuclear energy. In the Biden-Harris administration, nuclear is considered a low-carbon energy source that can help meet climate goals, so she would likely disagree with a blanket 'No' to nuclear.

Strongly disagree
Yes, and nationalize the industry
Harris has not called for the nationalization of the nuclear industry. Her approach has focused on regulation and public-private partnerships, not government ownership.
