The Multibillion-Dollar Racket That’s Thwarting Safe, Affordable Nuclear Energy
Earlier this month, Ken Braun of the Capital Research Center, reported that the anti-nuclear industry in the U.S. is spending some $2.3 billion per year. Braun identified more than 200 anti-nuclear NGOs.
The list includes anti-industry behemoths like the Sierra Club ($151 million in revenue in 2021), the League of Conservation Voters ($115 million), the Environmental Defense Fund ($285 million), and the Natural Resources Defense Council ($186 million) as well as smaller groups like Public Citizen ($8 million).

Braun explains that his $2.3 billion figure is a “deliberately conservative estimate of the financial firepower of the American anti-nuclear movement. It includes only nonprofit groups with a known anti-nuclear position, and within that subset, only some of the anti-nuclear nonprofits. The real dollar figure is likely far higher.”
