If we (society as a whole) had started switching to renewables when Greenpeace first started campaigning for them, I suspect we wouldn't have the climate emergency that makes nuclear look attractive.
It's hard to expect them to change their stance just because we failed to follow their lead for decades.
I think that's what most people miss. Green Peace is mostly right. Everything scientists and environmentalists have been saying for decades is right. They're easy to shit in because they are passionate and wear their hearts on their sleeves, but they're right: we need to do better.
They're easy to shit on because they are stupid, being passionate and stupid are not a necessary combination.
Nuclear is attractive because all the renewable options are climate dependent consequently highly variable. Unless you have some new form of renewable energy, this isn't going to change.
