I guess 'liberal' is the wrong word. I mean the popular media and popular discourse in general.

One thing has to be admitted, the environmentalist campaign nuclear energy must have been one of the most successful ever.

The amount of Anti-Scientific nonsense that is populated and believed by large part of the population is even worse then climate change or anti-GMO. However Greenpeace and other organisation that spread these Anti-Scientific organisations never get called out on their Anti-Nuclear propaganda because to few people care.

Essentially a whole branch of technology has eliminated by these narrow minded propaganda campaigns.

Other technologies could have thrived even with this opposition but nuclear is to political and the regulation to restrictive. Its so sad given the mountain of different technologies we are missing out on.
