I'm saying if they want green stuff, nuclear plants are as green and reliable as you can get.

Hydroelectric and geothermal and solar are all pretty green. Nuclear is a marvel, but nuclear ☢️ has its own issues. Fukushima Daiichi could have been much worse and it may be worse than most realize. Experts say another Chernobyl is virtually impossible, but experts are often surprised by things deemed unlikely happening given time and human nature.

And nuclear is not nearly as reliable as advertised. Look up the big fiasco of the San Onofre nuclear plant. Now there’s a radioactive eyesore on the SoCal coast to the tune of billions of dollars.

Interesting you mention Chernobyl, there is a fungus eating the radioactive matter, and I believe it's eating the Elephants Foot also.
