Who the fuck are paying nuclear lobbyist? Do they even exist? Like is "Big Nuclear" real? Can I get a job there? I'd love to get paid a shit load to go to the same dinners fossil fuel executives go to, but I'd get to actually advocate for something worthwhile and that would improve life in the future.
Yeah, it genuinely is. Doesn't take too long to find the lobby groups. A lot of funding comes from mining. Also, RAB funding (from the government) allows nuclear companies to earn a profit without having the plant completed yet. So there is money to be made. Ever wonder why there's a lot of pro-nuke videos on YouTube? Rather than academic spaces? Which time and again shows you that renewables are superior in virtually every way?
