That's not a good look, but about what I'd expect from the nuclear industry.

They say that on that page. So at that point, it's on them to make clear if they've created a seperate and independent org that can actually live up to the obviously false from the start claim of being "grassroots". As far as I can tell this is just a project run by those nuclear industry orgs, not an independent charity so all funding is entirely opaque, and asking for donations is just a front.
But someone is paying to get that team of about thirty to every global COP gathering so they can "flash mob" and paying to producing the multiple slightly too glossy websites and get them in all the papers.
Just the time off from their employers in the nuclear industry must add up.
This does not invalidate IPCC or JRC reports on nuclear power, nor the scientific papers, or the fact that there are various pro-nuclear environmental movements and political parties that are transparent about their funding and relations. Nuclear is more popular between younger people that are more worried about climate change than the effects of Chernobyl nowadays.
The person is also a teenage student.

And despite them accidentally leaving off their employers/jobs basically everyone on that page works in the nuclear industry.

Here's a "hilarous" anti-renewable meme cartoon from their australian branch:

In which renewables are a square wheel, grinding the economy to a halt, well that's a helpful message to be sending australians.
I followed RePlant before, when they talked about "future of food" topics, and knew that most involved persons were really early-stage scientists, so I thought that this was truly grassroots.
