Most of the current nukes are old and nearing their end of life. The few ones that were built recently all wildly ran over schedule and budget. Saying that anti-nuclear sentiment is pushed by the fossil industry is breathtakingly ass-backwards. It's exactly the fossil lobby that has been pushing nukes lately as a smokescreen to delay the adoption of renewables.
Source needed. Show me the receipts of the fossil fuel industry secretly funding nuclear power.
