ELI5: why do so many people who claim to embrace Science reject it when it comes to certain things (e.g. nuclear power, GMO crops, etc.)

Nuclear power is fear of the (next to winning the lottery sized) odds of meltdown. It is irrational and emotional to consider something so powerful it could eradicate continents.

GMO fear is based around two ideas. The dumb fear that we should mess with our food to select the best qualities as we have done for our entire existence with everything weve ever seen, and the idea that patent laws suck. Smart protests say that Monsanto shouldnt have a patent on a lifeform for so long, nor be able to sue poor farmers when their crops naturally interbreed with those of neighbouring farms via wind.
