It is simply economics. The anti-nuclear movement is insignificant but a very handy scapegoat. If nuclear made sense on a cost basis it would have pushed through somewhere globally. It's quite telling that not even authoritarian states, or very centrally controlled like France have managed that. I agree that nuclear would have been preferable to fossil energy. But today renewables is way cheaper than either alternative.
