In reply to the discussion: Huge Milestone: Renewables Now Provide More Electricity Than Nuclear Power [View all]OKIsItJustMe
(19,937 posts)27. You assume, ignoring evidence to the contrary.
I concluded, based upon rather clear evidence.
To be explicit, as if I havent been abundantly clear in the past, I am glad to see the growth in renewables. I would like to see that growth faster.
Observing that Renewables now contribute more than nuclear is significant. However, the article is not neutral. If there is any doubt, a quick search reveals the slant of EcoWatch regarding nuclear power.
