I can't believe you're blaming "tree huggers" for this, when the clear beneficiary is the global fossil fuel industry, who've been lobbying against nuclear power since the 50s. Shit, many anti-nuclear groups have been funded by fossil fuel industry for decades. At best, their protests were political cover for governments to do what the oil industry paid them to do.

- api 4y agoThe rabid anti nukes were more useful idiots. You’re right that the real power is in the fossil fuel industry which was happy to use them.
- goatlover 4y agoIs that really true in Germany? Chernobyl was such a big deal to the German public, making nuclear very unpopular.
