  > What is this powerful anti-nuclear lobby in France supposed to be? 1. France isn't an isolated country. 2. That "lobby" is decades of various actvists fear-mongering and politicians afraid of unpopular decisions. And so you have: --- start quote --- In May 2001, an Ipsos poll found that nearly 70% of the population had a 'good opinion' of nuclear power, however 56% also preferred not to live near a nuclear plant. In 2006, BBC/GlobeScan poll found 57% of the French opposed to nuclear energy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France?wprov=sfti1#Public_opinion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France?wprov=... --- end quote --- Follow the link above for a description of anti-nuclear activism

    >1. France isn't an isolated country. What is this supposed to mean? Do you want to imply that the German Green party for example, dictates the politics in France?? > 2. That "lobby" is decades of various actvists fear-mongering and politicians afraid of unpopular decisions. Nuclear is popular in France...your own quote says it. Not wanting to live near a nuclear plant is hardly an argument against nuclear power itself. You are twisting the facts. > Follow the link above for a description of anti-nuclear activism I did. The newest info on this powerful lobby: > In March 2014, police arrested 57 Greenpeace protesters who used a truck to break through security barriers and enter the Fessenheim nuclear in eastern France. This is hilarious. THIS is supposed to be that powerful anti-nuclear lobby in France? 57 Greenpeace protesters? Are you joking?
