That is not true of me or others that think like me.Fewer environmentalists would oppose nuclear energy if the media had done a better job of presenting all sides of the issue, just as fewer environmentalists would support CO2 reductions to fight climate change if they had all the facts (and fewer outright lies).The types of "they" attributions you employ will do little to convince Americans to embrace new nuclear energy plants. I don't consider "greens" an evil cabal that thinks and reacts with uniformity on all issues. That condition more aptly applies to the media, which fails to correct the misconcpetions Americans have regarding nuclear energy.The culprit here is not the group of Americans you refer to as "greens." It is the media. Had they presented both sides, groups like Greenpeace and individuals like DuPree Moore would have their say and Americans would have a better grasp of the pros and cons of nuclear energy, and we would likely have more nuclear power plants.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2941','Francis Drouillard'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('2941','Francis Drouillard','Laer,I think you\'re letting the media off the hook on this issue in order to paint all environmentalists as anti-nuclear energy zealots.
