The reason nuclear power isn’t a big thing right now has far, far less to do with the dirty smelly anti-nuke hippies than the guys in the bank offices with the green visors.
Fission plants are a hella lot more expensive to build, run, maintain and (eventually) decommission than they were sold as.
Believe me, if nuclear power plants were profitable, all the DSANH’s in the world would have not been enough to stop the profit machines.
As supporting evidence, note that a whole lot of DSANH-type people aren't at all fond of petroleum. All their protests haven't done diddly to that market...
