10. Nuclear energy is no where near clean
when taken into account all phases of nuclear energy from the mining of the fuel, the processing of that to the building of the plant itself.
Hydro is our cleanest source of energy even after taking in all phases of the building of the dams and the power stations and they supply damn near as much of our over all electrical energy as nuke plants do.
You are full of it if you think you are correct in saying that half of the energy needed to recharge the EV's batteries is lost before it gets to the ground as propulsion. A sizeable chunk yes but half no. Maybe with a lead acid battery that would be close to correct but we're not talking about lead acid batteries here.
I believe nothing that you say at this point as the time you've been here you've been proven to be so full of shit. Oh and your wise ass I'm somebody and you're a nobody is duly noted

Most of us live pretty close to the plant that is generating our power so the 7% loss in transmissions is a lie to. That may be the case when the power is transferred hundreds of miles but not when it is right next door to us which is the case in most cases.

Your bullshit is getting old dude real fast.

Now go piss down someone else's legs and tell them that it's raining, I know better.

We'll not be increasing our percentage of nuclear energy any time soon if ever.
