I don't understand nations being anti-nuclear. Also, why would you take down nuclear without having a good substitute?

1. Emphasize all the negatives. 2. Minimize or outright deny all the positives. 3. Rinse and repeat for 40 years or so. Not that different from anti-vax.

Fossil fuel energy being among the most powerful and corrupt industries on the planet, in the pocket of countless thousands of politicians and bureaucrats doesn't give any hints? They've caused countries to go to war, killed millions, and are still mostly exempt from paying for any externalities from their product that have been known for a century. Killing nuclear is a walk in the park.
