Of course environmentalists believe in possible dangers. Whether those dangers are acceptable or even real is a different matter. But yeah, when people dedicate their lives to something, anything really, facts and logic have a poor track record at convincing people to change their minds. If that's news to you, then I'm really not sure what else to say other than that you might benefit from learning more about human psychology.

That might be the case for nuclear power too. I don't know all the factors but I would also rather see nuclear power instead of burning coal. It is just that I do not buy that people protest against it because conciously or subconsciously they know it is the answer to the problem and fear of becoming irrelevant. This is luddites that fear that progress would stop their livelihood.
