What the fossil fuel companies did was hide what they knew about global warming and manipulate governments into continued investment in reliance on fossil fuels. It's not like it's all a big conspiracy against nuclear.
Also, as other commenters indicate, wind and solar are quite effective in displacing their business, even if not entirely (due to the intermittency problem) - as they are cheaper, renewable, safer, don't have the waste issues and do not involve problematic geo-politics for the fuel. Not to mention how wind and solar don't preclude the use of nuclear for night-time generation.
