Oil and gas companies being in an 'alliance' with climate change activists is a pretty made up notion, even in the context of constraining the entire scope to just a stance on nuclear energy.
There may be opposition to nuclear but to make the bridge over to being an ally of oil and coal would be... well, stonetoss level of improper framing of an issue.
Hell, anecdotally speaking for my own experiences on the topic: nuclear energy has been the most consistent common ground between climate change activists and deniers that I've seen. Far more than the precise zero climate change activists ive seen actively supporting oil, gas, or coal interests. There is support renewables, not obliquely opposing nuclear.
