There are nuclear weapons and then there is nuclear power. I think fear over nuclear weapons is weaponized to keep us dependent on fossil fuels. People weren't so worried about "world wars" prior to 1900 or so because they didn't have fossil fuels to drive/sail/fly around.

>People

Politicians/intellectuals have a (unifying) front on nuclear, voters care more about fossil vs solar

Mirrors the diverging reception of Abundance?
