That may be, but the simple reality is that they and many like them have been fearmongering against nuclear for decades while being far more accepting of coal and case.
> Is everyone happy with Iran having a buildout of a dozen or more reactors to replace their oil usage?
I am. Iran would have had peaceful French built nuclear power with French handling nuclear bringing nuclear fuel and taking nuclear 'waste' home.
This was agree on by Iran and France. However the US in its infinite wisdom prevented that.
And then when Iran said, if France was not gone do it, they would do it themselves. The US and Israel basically fell over themselves claiming this was prove that Iran was building nuclear weapons.
> More prosaically, the cost of solar only goes down, while the cost of nuclear seems to only go up.
That's not a law of nature. Its an act of deliberate policy and history.
