Public opinion here appears to count for nearly jack squat so I don’t buy this explanation at all.

  FF extraction is very profitable and has been for a long time. Those that make money from extraction spend a lot on lobbying. They don't want nuclear power because its the only thing that can really replace FFs. The public opinion angle is just useful idiots being manipulated by people who make money from FF extraction. That makes it far easier to get the politicians to do what they want (kill nuclear).
