      Greenpeace banned nuclear power and brought back coal

      • Centuries of colonial rule

      • Decades of military dictatorship

      • Enormous domestic fossil fuels and chemicals industry (see: Pakistan’s fuel oil exports surge to record high on muted domestic demand )

      • Decades of nuclear non-proliferation policy at the UN driven by fear of rogue states using the weapons to terrorize civilians

      • Billions spent on media campaigns to influence fossil fuel policies

      You know that small American-based environmental organization that did a few high profile stunts back in the 1970s? They did this.
