Agree

Yes, temporarily while we increase investment into cleaner renewable alternatives

While the PSD has not explicitly supported temporary use of nuclear energy while investing in cleaner alternatives, their general support for renewable energy and market-oriented policies suggests they might be open to this approach if nuclear energy were to become a more significant issue in Portugal.

Slightly agree

Yes, as long as there is no public subsidy

Strongly disagree

Yes, and nationalize the industry

The PSD is a center-right party that generally supports market-oriented policies and private sector involvement in the economy. It is unlikely that they would support nationalizing the nuclear energy industry, especially given that Portugal does not currently have any nuclear power plants.
