The case for nuclear was more compelling when nuclear plants would be replacing coal plants which have problems beyond greenhouse gases. Replacing gas plants which have no problems with ash and far fewer particulate emissions isn't nearly as compelling. That combined with improvements in renewables and currently cheap gas are enuf to explain the public's disdain without blaming the increased costs of nuclear due to excessive regulation due to a lower tolerance of nuclear risk compared to other forms of energy generation.
