Kraftwerk killed nuclear power (Radio-Activity) and promoted petroleum consumption (Autobahn), like the true factory-idol industrialists they are ...

I think you're slightly overestimating their influence there... my theory is that they addressed all of these topics (along with others like robots, high speed trains and models) simply because they sounded cool and/or futuristic and fit their futuristic music. The article mentions that Radio-Activity only became an anti-nuclear song in the 1991 re-release.
