Environmentalism led to a lot of positive improvements, in spite of non-accomplishments like fake recycling programs. For all we know there could have been additional Fukushima like events if no one opposed plant construction in the past. More importantly, not all environmentalism is anti nuclear even if that was a primary cause at a time it seemed like the biggest existential threat.

I do think we should reinvest in nuclear power at the same time we're making other reforms to the energy sector and economy.
