That fear could be easily dealt with by stopping unfounded anti-nuclear fearmongering and a tiny bit of education.

  Need to keep it to a tiny bit, mind you. Lest they find out that attempts to keep attention on reactors are a diversion from the real harms.

  When you get things like "Activists have protested the arrival of [tanker LNG] acquired through fracking", during an energy crisis, it seems fair to point out that some people are just unreasonable. Environmentalism's greatest enemy has been environmentalists. Teddy Roosevelt et al. were able to get more done because they played realpolitik, and realized that getting 50% of what you want, even if you have to hold your nose at some compromises, is better than getting 100% of what you oppose. If anti-nuclear protesters were serious about ranking their worries, they'd be supporting the IAEA trying to cordon off the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station from the war ASAP.

  So every nuclear capable nation on Earth is ruled by this fear cabal? What else can this powerful cabal do, end world hunger or colonize the moon? If nuclear was everything it proponents claimed it to be, there would be at least one country on Earth going all in on them. Nuclear is useful in the power mix but it's value is way overstated. It is not an economical choice, if it was no amount of lobbying would stop them from being built. Coal usage did not decrease due to intense environment lobbying, but only when cheaper alternatives were available.

    >What else can this powerful cabal do, end world hunger or colonize the moon The combined money lobbying power of energy companies could almost certainly end world hunger. Probably not colonize the moon but certainly establish a permanent base.
