They don't have ""reasonable"" concerns with scare quotes. They have legitimately reasonable concerns. Nuclear is prohibitively expensive, inherently dangerous (in terms of being high-stakes), difficult to oversee properly (particularly since reactors can outlive governments), and it requires disposal of some of the most toxic waste mankind has ever produced.
I have an answer to all of those concerns, but that does NOT mean they're any less reasonable.
Anti-vaxx on the other hand have completely UNreasonable concerns. Most of those I talk to in the anti-vaxx movement still think there's a risk of autism. Many think this is all a conspiracy by big pharma to sell more medicine. That's not reasonable. That's not even "reasonable". That's a conspiracy theory.
I think there's a fundamental difference here as well as a difference in scale. That's why I'm saying this is a terrible comparison.
