It also downplays the fossil fuel industry's responsibility for anti-nuclear advocacy. Like gosh it's not the literal billions of dollars this industry spends lobbying congress and subsidizing pro-fossil-fuel perspectives in media and think-tanks, it's the healing-crystals wacko's fault!
Much like recycling or jaywalking, it's a way for an industry to diffuse and downplay their own advocacy and push the fault onto the public.
Like yeah, it would be better if Greenpeace supported nuclear... but they're not the ones sitting in senator's offices getting bills passed subsidizing the fossil-fuel industry. Even the "climate change" bill had to throw almost 10% of its spending to fossil-fuel subsidies.
