I grew up in St. Louis, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callaway_Nuclear_Generating_St... was relatively close. No one cared. There were several coal plants a lot closer that were a lot dirtier. (https://www.google.com/maps/search/Alton+Power+Plant/@38.913... https://www.google.com/maps/place/Labadie+Power+Plant+Rd,+Bo...)

Notice how they're right on the river right upstream from St. Louis.

But we also had much worse things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weldon_Spring_Ordnance_Works (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5670478/), Sauget Superfund (https://old.post-gazette.com/pg/06276/727066-28.stm), Monsanto Headquarters, https://www.builtstlouis.net/ammo.html

Now I live in Seattle. I'd much rather that Callaway plant was where the Handford site is than have the Hanford Site there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Site
