In reply to the discussion: Renewable Energy is Killing Nuclear Power No Hope for Nuclear [View all]FBaggins
(26,731 posts)2. Lol... he "changed his mind"?
He's been writing this same thing for years. Certainly since 2011.
The only time he ever thought nuclear power would expand at all was back when he thought that peak oil and peak gas had already arrived and peak coal was just around the corner. That was less than seven years ago - when he expected expanded coal usage with CCS.
Even back then... he was one of the nuts claiming that peak uranium was also upon us (buying Storm Van Leeuwen's nonsense).
In short... he's been proven to be pretty clueless about energy. He runs a company that makes money getting people to invest in renewables. Is it any wonder that he'll buy (and then sell) any spin that pretends that those stocks must necessarily shoot up?

Guilty? No. Unless you consider that it is your fault that you were born into the place
