Why is there so much marketing to support nuclear?

The reason people don't want it in their back yard is because disasters are so drastic (even if rare), the waste nearly permanent (and one of the most toxic we produce on earth), and trust in government and corporations to protect our health and safety is at historic lows.

I simply do not trust lobbiests, CEOs and career politicians with the health and safety of my family, and I don't think anyone else should either.

I think those in the nuclear business understand this is the last hurrah. It's now or never, so the marketing is being pushed to the maximum. It also means you shouldn't trust a single word from them; they're desperate and care nothing for their future reputation if they fail.
