No, Pandora, the slump in nuclear energy is due to economics, not anti-nuclear protestors Most of the new plants announced with such enthusiasm have been cancelled or deferred indefinitely. Those that have commenced construction have run over time and over budget, exactly as happened in the last big nuclear boom of the 1970s. the fact that the world has not turned to nuclear power as a solution to climate change is a matter of economics. much of the current demand for “baseload” power is an artifact of pricing systems designed for coal, and may disappear as prices become more cost-reflective. theguardian/commentisfree/2013/nov/08/reviving-nuclear-power-debates-is-a-distraction-we-need-to-use-less-energy
