Nuclear energy, fission and fusion, is just like GMOs, victim of ignorance. Anyone willing to read a little can see that most fears are unfounded, yet the scare mongering of certain people continues to win over the reason.
For example Germany had little to no reason to quit nuclear power. Yet it did and now it has to burn more coal than ever. It's even worse in Austria, not only did they waste billions constructing and then never opening perfectly fine plant, for last twenty years they protest against plant in Czech Republic, produce horror documentaries about it and sometimes block border, yet they still use energy it delivers to the grid.
