"Environmentalists" have demonstrated for half a century that they are not credible on the topic of nuclear power. The NRC is probably responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths by retarding the construction of new nuclear fission for decades, which is the safest (deaths per watt hour) energy production tech we have

If we ask the environmentalists every time we'd end up like Germany - hooked on Russian gas, instead of France which doesn't have this problem due to the ~70% electrical energy mix coming from nuclear.
