Not all politcs problems are one side against the other, sometimes a political problem does mean “this is a good idea, but too generally unpopular to be implemented”.

For nuclear it’s also a local politics problem, not national problem generally: people don’t have an issue with nuclear in general, but they do have strong opposition for it being built near where they live.

Nuclear power is mainly an economical problem, meaning it is too expensive to be viable.
I think the economics are why you don't see industry pushing it. If they thought it was an easy route to lots of $, they would start pushing it (and against the anti-nuke movement).
