That's exactly what someone participating in the conspiracy would say.
At this point it's an open secret that oil and gas have used their money to lobby against all alternative sources of energy, including HN's golden boy: nuclear. Exhibit A: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Club#Budget_and_funding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Club#Budget_and_funding
Environmentalists didn't kill nuclear energy. They are a patsy for Big Oil.
