> we have the environmentalists of the past to thank for the fact that we don't have several times as much nuclear power for base load

Ask yourself why environmentalists succeeded in shutting down nuclear power, the one viable alternative to fossil fuels, when they failed at literally everything else. That might lead you to who was actually responsible.

Because of Chernobyl.

And they did not fail at everything else.

They succeeded in a lot of cases.

For a rather large win, as I mentioned, the Ozone layer was saved. Another big one was banning of DDT and introduction of regulations on everything from new pesticides / herbicides to emissions (or fuel saving as we used to refer to it until recently).
