In reply to the discussion: Huge Milestone: Renewables Now Provide More Electricity Than Nuclear Power [View all]hunter
(38,304 posts)31. Yep, doubling down.
Tell us how you really feel about nuclear power...
...or "natural" gas. (Scare quotes 'cause that gas ain't natural.)
I've made my own position clear.
"Green" fog will not impress me. I'm hard core green, some kind of Luddite, have done the math, have the bad ass academic credentials... unlike Jill Stein and most innumerate Greens here in the U.S.A. or in Europe.
Nope, you are not on my gas shill or Fuck for Forest ignore list yet.
Your move.

You imply the relationship between renewable & nuclear is causing coal to rise.
