This is the law of unintended consequences at work.

1. Green groups spend countless hours and dollars fighting nuclear power plants during the 1970's and 1980's. They mostly win, and nuclear plant construction stops. 2. Green groups spend countless hours and dollars promoting the global warming theory, and the need to reduce carbon emissions during the 1990s and 2000s. Ironically, the best technical solution to this problem is Nuclear power plants.

Nuclear power plant construction starts up again, as a direct result of the green campaigning against global warming.
