Or consider China, the largest emitter of CO2 today. You think environmental activism is why China hasn't built more nuclear plants? Lol. Economically, coal has been "good enough" -- assuming we ignore its health costs and long-term environmental costs.
The 2nd reason, especially valid in the US, is the influence of the oil & coal lobbies. The US had the means to fully embrace nuclear power, but the reason it hasn't has little to do with public opinion or environmentalism. It was already under-investing before Chernobyl.
The one country that has really embraced nuclear electricity is France. This has happened despite a significant "green" movement. The primary motivation there has been achieving energy independence -- an argument that doesn't work for a coal & oil producing country like the US.
In conclusion... Outside perhaps Germany and Japan, the anti-nuclear movement has had very little influence on adoption. If you want to the world to adopt nuclear energy, you have to focus on the actual reasons why that hasn't happened yet, not on some imaginary opponent.
I hold a degree in Nuclear Eng., the conferral of which requires a decent grasp of nuclear policy. The lack of widespread use of nuclear energy in the US is mostly attributable to public opinion. The lobbyists don’t help, but it’s already a political nightmare without them.
