critics of nuclear power dared hope.

Then came Japan's Fukushima disaster. China prudently put a halt to nuclear licensing and construction, including at Shandong, pending a full safety review. As this process stretched on and on, critics of nuclear power dared hope. Perhaps the leadership, unwilling to risk a nasty accident, would end the programme? Some greens dreamed that subsidies would be redirected to solar and wind technologies.

Could you tell me what is 'dare hope'. And the 'greens' refers to the environmentalists, right?
