AFAIK, it's not just the utopian "green brigade" as you think. The amount of compensation that the govt. gives when forcibly acquiring land for nuclear projects is pathetically low. Many of them may fighting because they think that is the only way to get better compensation.
See e.g., http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-03-19/india... the units seem to be unreliable, but we're talking around $3000 per family in compensation (938 hectares over 2335 families at Rs400k/hectare and Rs50 per USD). LOL. I'd stall a project if I was going to be uprooted, my livelihood (i.e., traditional fishing grounds destroyed) and I was given a insultingly low $3k as compensation.
