I don't think environmentalists are nearly as capable of throwing a wrench on nuclear energy development as you say. Seems to me like the real issue here is that if nuclear energy is pushed as the go to modern day energy source, than global politics would be that much harder for the develop nations that "rule" the others. The US has a very clear agenda of freezing the status quo in the nuclear weapons club, they are not accepting new entries at this time. If nations pursue nuclear technology for energy reasons, that is more than enough to get the stare down from the club. There is even specialized cyber weaponry designed exclusively to sabotage nuclear enrichment equipment.

> I don't think environmentalists are nearly as capable of throwing a wrench on nuclear energy development as you say. Maybe in terms of their organised political power. But their lies and propaganda have essentially become common knowledge and are basically capable of always mobilizing a group of uninformed people to protest anything. > Seems to me like the real issue here is that if nuclear energy is pushed as the go to modern day energy source, than global politics would be that much harder for the develop nations that "rule" the others. Its the opposite, those nations that can produce and sell nuclear power stations can gain huge leverage one everybody else. > There is even specialized cyber weaponry designed exclusively to sabotage nuclear enrichment equipment. Yes. That is one of the larger problems, but not a show stopper.
