What, you expect people to get upset about reactors that aren't being built?

Your comparison just isn't valid.

It's been no secret this would happen, see this post from 2008:

Also, FYI: Nuclear is irrelevant to stopping global warming, as shown in a paper published last year in Proceedings of the National Academies of Science:
"Restricting nuclear power has little effect on the cost of climate policies"
