I did not read anything about this campaign in the Austrian paper I am
subscribed to and nothing was mentioned in the TV news. This is just
another case of the always repeated attacks against everything nuclear of
this party. Obviously mass media are so much used to it that they do not
even report on it anymore.

This is the declared aim and strategy of these people everywhere in the
world, may it concern construction of nuclear power plants or the nuclear
fuel cycle or storage of waste. And they are right: to prevent nuclear
energy it must be made so expensive, that the companies will switch to
other sources of electricity production, which will be cheaper and give
better profit. Shareholders determine nowadays the development.
