米国の一般市民を対象に、気候変動認識と原子力発電への支持の関係を分析した研究。3回の全国規模のインターネット調査（6000人超）のデータを用いて、政治イデオロギーや文化的世界観による差異を検証。結果は、気候変動認識が原子力支持に影響するが、環境に対する根本的態度も重要な役割を果たすことを示している。

English

This study analyzes the relationship between climate change beliefs and support for nuclear energy among the U.S. public using three national surveys (over 6,000 adults). It finds that climate change perceptions affect support, but underlying environmental attitudes also strongly shape opinions. Differences exist across political ideology, partisanship, and cultural worldviews.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters

日本のGX文脈において

米国の原子力支持に関する調査結果は、日本のエネルギー政策（特に原子力の位置づけ）を考える上で参考になる。ただし、米国特有の政治分断や世界観が反映されているため、直接的な適用には注意が必要。

In the global GX context

This paper provides timely evidence on how public opinion on nuclear energy links to climate change perceptions in the U.S., a key context for global energy transition debates. It highlights the role of cultural and political factors that may also be relevant in other countries, including Japan.

👥 読者別の含意

🔬研究者:Researchers studying public acceptance of nuclear energy in the context of climate change can use this paper's findings on inter- and intra-group variation.

🏢実務担当者:Although not directly applicable to corporate sustainability, practitioners can gain insights into public opinion factors that may affect energy policy and investment.

🏛政策担当者:Policymakers can understand the nuanced public support for nuclear energy and how it varies with climate change beliefs and political ideology.

📄 Abstract（原文）

ABSTRACT Beliefs about climate change vary widely among members of the American public, encompassing opinions on whether the climate is changing, its causes, and what actions humans can take (or should take) to mitigate its effects. Some policy elites and environmentalists argue that nuclear energy—the largest source of carbon‐free energy in the U.S. – will act as a crucial bridge in the transition to renewable energy, while others hold strong opposition to it. Using data from three nationwide internet surveys involving over 6000 American adults, we analyze the relationship between beliefs about climate change and support for nuclear energy among the broader U.S. public. Additionally, we investigate how beliefs about climate change affect support for nuclear energy based on political ideology, partisanship, and cultural worldviews among different subsets of respondents, as well as intra‐group differences among stronger and weaker ideological and partisan groups. We also examine broader environmental attitudes in all our models and find that these underlying values continue to shape the U.S. public's positions on their preferred role of nuclear energy. Our findings have both theoretical and policy implications concerning the influence of public opinion on the future role of nuclear energy.
