If they are so marginalized, how do we explain the successes in thwarting nuclear power, solar farm installations, and even wind power facilities?

I’m sorry, but NIMBYism isn’t a province of the extreme left. There’s a lot of opposition to any large-scale energy projects from all over the political map.

Environmental concerns are one of them. They’re not the sole and only reason we’re not getting nuclear plants and solar farms built. They’re not even the main reason. The article you cite has environmental concerns as just one reason out of many.
