They published it because it fits their narrative.

At the top left the article it shows:

Perspective - Perspective Discussion of news topics with a point of view, including narratives by individuals regarding their own experiences

Honestly, I think news sites should make clear when an article is opinion piece, and therefore should be read critically. That's regardless of what you think of media bias.

The whole thing is written from a first-person perspective. It’s titled “... now I think”. It’s so exceedingly obvious that it is an opinion piece, even having the “perspective” line in the header seems like overkill to me....

Or because it’s a surprising opinion coming from an nuclear power insider, and people might be interested to read it?
