Insane that Greenpeace is anti-nuclear. Really undermines the organizations goals.

  Fortunately, a majority of the new generation of Greens around Europe are coming to their senses and support nuclear power. Not sure about Greenpeace though, they are a bit messed up.

  They would have to admit they were wrong when they opposed nuclear power, always a difficult thing for ideologically driven organisations. Some individuals manage to make amends with their mistaken activism but it takes a number of influential individuals to convincingly steer an organisation away from the cliffs it has been aiming for. Those individuals will initially be lambasted by the true believers so they often choose to leave the organisation instead of trying to reform it. This means the organisation is pulled even more towards the old/failed ideology which makes it even harder for it to be reformed.

  Because of green washing. Nuclear is carbon friendly, might even be climate change friendly but its a long way from being environmentally friendly.

    Nuclear is extremely environmentally friendly. It uses very little land and materials, and produces very little waste, relative to energy produced.

    Green washing refers to calling fossil fuels like natural gas "green".
