It fizzled because nuclear doesn't have the PR and lobbying clout of the fossil and renewable energy industries. People mistakenly think that climate change/renewable energy group took money/power from the fossil fuel industry. They didn't. Fossil fuel is just as strong as ever. The climate change/renewable energy group beat nuclear industry. You'll see the renewable energy group take credit for the decline of coal. Wind/solar did nothing to hurt coal. It was fracking and the natural gas boom that hurt coal. What renewable has done is lead to the decline of nuclear industry in europe/germany and in the US. There is only a limited amount of funding and mind-space. The rise of renewable energy industry crowded out nuclear. Of course the fukushima accident didn't help and the media/PR/lobbying war waged by renewable and fossil fuel industries.
