after chernobyl, with popular fear and distrust of nuclear power, and most energy companies preferring coal-fired plants, the u.s. nuclear industry went dormant for many years, although legislation continued until 1992. although nuclear plants were still quite active and even improving production and safety practices, construction of new plants ended in the late 1980s. this was acceptable to many utility companies, because most of the plants were licensed to operate on 20–40 year contracts, despite an unfavorable political climate. over time, numerous polls showed a steady increase in public support and decrease in opposition, except for a temporary drop in numbers after the september 11 attacks and the iraq and afghanistan wars. according to a gallup poll in 2009, 59% of the public favored the use of nuclear energy, including 27% who strongly favored it, an increase from 49% since 2001. moreover, in 2009, the gallup poll showed 56% people believed nuclear energy was safe versus 42% who believed it was unsafe. other polls showed an even larger gap; bloomberg and "the los angeles times" found that 61% supported nuclear energy, while 30% opposed in 2010. bisconti research inc./gfk roper, market researchers commissioned by the nuclear energy institute, a nuclear industry lobbying group, found that "a record-high 74 percent of americans surveyed in a new national poll support nuclear energy and a similar majority of 70 percent says the united states should 'definitely build more' nuclear energy facilities [in 2010]." according to ann bisconti, phd, "this unprecedented support for nuclear energy is being driven largely by people's concerns for meeting future energy demand and environmental goals, but it coincides with statements by president obama and other national leaders who have voiced strong support for more nuclear power plants."
