Earlier today I reported on nuclear energy being a voter magnet in Australia, now this YouGov poll on Scottish popularity.

I wasn't expecting *this* fast of a change after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, but here we are.

Nuclear is now Scotland’s most popular energy source, YouGov finds - Nuclear Industry Association

New polling from YouGov shows strong and growing support for nuclear energy in Scotland, with a clear majority of the public now backing its role.

We could wish the viewpoint of the SNP to change.

Unfortunately, Scotland, Ireland, and to a lesser extent Wales seem to have a round-robin going of "this is some creation of the bluidy Sassenachs for our detriment, even if we can't see exactly how". It also seems as though the anxiety over the basing of nuclear-armed, nuclear-propelled submarines at Holy Loch (as though Scotland would be immune to a superpower war without them) gets transferred to civil nuclear energy.
