A lot of right wing luddites are too, to be fair. Mention nuclear and they'll reeeee about Fukushima or some shit, without actually realizing how little radiation was released. Guess what, coal power plants release more radiation into the air than nuclear plants because coal contains uranium and thorium, and that's including every accident that's ever occurred. Even worse, by being anti-nuclear, they're preventing older and less safe plants from being decommissioned because they're not allowed to build new ones!
