Once again. I never said anything about a "renewable energy utopia". If you would like to continue this conversation please retract both of those strawmen.

Explicitly or haplessly, the article you linked to is more natural gas blather. hunter Jun 2017 #1

Wow, Eko Jun 2017 #2

What you posted is not good. I posted actual numbers. hunter Jun 2017 #3

I was referring to nuclear. Eko Jun 2017 #5

It's not good news, "A Huge Milestone," for the reason I explain. hunter Jun 2017 #6

For some reason Eko Jun 2017 #7

I ask you this: Is it a good milestone or a worrisome milestone? hunter Jun 2017 #8

You just cant do it. Eko Jun 2017 #9

To be fair, the headline appears to imply that more renewables than nuclear is a good thing OKIsItJustMe Jun 2017 #10

Key word is Eko Jun 2017 #11

The lady doth protest too much, methinks OKIsItJustMe Jun 2017 #12

And if I posted an article Eko Jun 2017 #14

Your repeated claim was "Nothing in my post was anti nuclear." OKIsItJustMe Jun 2017 #20

My neo-Luddite self asked a question... hunter Jun 2017 #13

My eko self requested Eko Jun 2017 #15

What is that? Am I indifferent to nuclear power? hunter Jun 2017 #18

It was simple Eko Jun 2017 #19

Fine. You are pro-nuclear or indifferent. hunter Jul 2017 #29

The technical term for your stance is "hogwash". kristopher Jun 2017 #16

Hmmm... I don't think this is the first time... OKIsItJustMe Jun 2017 #4

Coal 2007 2,016,456GWh /// Coal 2016 1,240,108 kristopher Jun 2017 #17

Right OKIsItJustMe Jun 2017 #21

Right. Your number lacks context, has zip value in determining causation or correlation kristopher Jun 2017 #22

It's as valuable as the numbers around which the article was written OKIsItJustMe Jun 2017 #23

No it isn't. kristopher Jun 2017 #24

That cause being? OKIsItJustMe Jun 2017 #25

You imply the relationship between renewable & nuclear is causing coal to rise. kristopher Jun 2017 #26

You assume, ignoring evidence to the contrary. OKIsItJustMe Jun 2017 #27

Riiiight.... kristopher Jun 2017 #28
