I don’t think it’s bad information so much as Americans and their political institutions have a risk calculus that is, to put it mildly, biased against nuclear & its history of dramatic catastrophes vs., say, the slow poisoning from a coal plant.

I think that Americans also know that "nuclear vs coal" is a false dichotomy. A major issue in the 2016 elections was the ongoing collapse of the coal industry. The USA produces less energy from coal now than it did in the 1940s.
