    Actually, the nuclear power industry did / does indeed run astroturfing campaigns. For example the “pro-nuclear civil society” in Japan. If you read up on nuclear power online you will find an abundance of websites and groups which offer very one-sided information and are tied to the nuclear power industry.

    Nuclear fission power had huge investments and substitutions but turned out to not be economically feasible in most cases. There is a lot of money to be lost and made in this industry.

    Between scientists there is also no consensus whether nuclear power (in its current application) is a good thing.
