Well, there's a lot of lobbying from Greenpeace that's set nuclear back a few decades. It's not just industry.

- rtkwe 3y agoIndustry is the real money behind it though. The waste disposal issue in the US because we don't reprocess our spent fuel was a legitimate issue but it was over reacted too along with big scares like Chernobyl and TMI. Singular events like that stick out a lot more than the slow poisoning from coal and gas plants but that's just a fact of human psychology and the difficultly of definitively attributing deaths to slow environmental poisons like that.
- robertlagrant 3y agoIt might be the real money (who knows), but I think public and political sentiment was massively swayed by Greenpeace.
