Dunno about the USA, but in western Europe, anti-nuclear activism rose from the communist movements in the 1960s and were heavily sponsored by the Soviet Union with the goal of weakening the west. The Soviets were building nuke plants as far as they could to secure stable sources of energy while spending shitloads of money campaigning against their enemies doing the same.
So yes, in a sense, it was an oil tycoon nation campaigning against nuclear power back then.
And nowadays the children and grandchildren of those western communist revolutionnaires scream that everything they don't like is Russian propaganda.
