You're right, I was somewhat incorrect. Japan temporarily shutdown its reactors after fukushima, with plans to reactivate. However, according to wikipedia only 5 out of ~50 are reactivated now.

There are obviously valid concerns, but....my point is the public fears one and takes little heed of CO2.
