Anti-nuclear energy activists will likely go down in history as villains.

My personal pet conspiracy theory is that those 'activists' were largely sponsored by Russian interests to begin wtih. Cui bono?

More generally, supported by fossil fuel industry.

They were and still are the useful idiots serving the interests of carbon emission industry, who exploited their amygdala because it's easier to be scared of acute nuclear risks than by diffuse GHG risks.

You should take a look at the "Stop Oil" lot we have in the UK at the moment, if they aren't a big oil psyops ill eat my hat.

Constantly doing the least logical and public endearing actions possible without fail.

It was the Schröder Government that signed the initial Nuclear phase-out law.

The same Schröder who would later join the board of GazProm and just paid the Russian Embassy a visit for WWII victory celebrations the other day.
