It's more subtle but there has been a wide-ranging effort to rebrand nuclear energy and push the nuclear industry's agenda in media. That includes obsessed nuclear bros who who try to dominate online forums by impressing everyone with their nuclear wizardry to bash "rival" clean energy technologies. The local nuclear zealot even tries to sell radioactive nuclear waste as a "gift" to future generations, and radioactive exclusion zones as nature preserves, while grossly exaggerating and distorting environmental problems associated with renewable energy.
