Yep, the problem is that GreenPeace, the Grünen (in Germany), les Verts (in France) all started up in the 70s by struggling against nuclear power mostly for its military uses, out of sheer pacifism mainly (which is a perfectly reasonable idea).
In Europe, the mythos of "struggle against nuclear power/ military /oppressive state" reached an acme when the poor activist Vital Michalon was killed during protests in Creys-Malville in 1977 ( https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifestation_%C3%A0_Creys-Mal... ). This basically cast the legend in stone forever.
So "nuclear" became the evil-arch-enemy nemesis, and nothing can be done anymore: that's their religious dogma, with its martyr and saints, and no amount of rational discussion or scientific evidence can help.
