It isn't environmental nutters, it is cost. Nuclear is expensive.

Nuclear is expensive because of the environmental nutters??

Of the 104 reactors now operating in the U.S., ground was broken on all
of them in 1974 or earlier. There wasn't a large environmental movement
pre-1974. Three Mile Island wasn't until 1979.
