...Which is a perfectly normal thing to feel. Car crash happended that affected them, now they try to avoid cars.

It's emotions, not logic. Especially to protest the existence of cars and trying to rid the world of them. In exchange for, say, horses which would kill even more people. All because of a drunk driver (better analogy would be a drunk driver that had a blow device but managed to bypass it).

Yeah, and? Are you discounting how powerful emotions can be versus logic? There’s an entire industry (psychology) around this and they still haven’t solved it.

That's the thing. When it comes to nuclear they think it's logic, when in reality it's emotion.
