And most global warming activists aren't climate scientists.
Meanwhile the military industrial complex, who DGAF about the environment but very much want lavish taxpayer subsidies for a well oiled nuclear supply chain, is shouting down solar, wind and storage - largely because it competes for subsidies and its low cost renders it a no brainer alternative.
They are louder, richer, more persuasive (cynically leveraging environmental messaging) and considerably more powerful than people who care more for the environment than military supply chains.
