When all the people on the panel were introduced as nuclear experts, I thought this was going to be terrible, but it turned out that only one of them was a paid shill talking nonsense.


Which part in particular was nonsense?

I only had time to watch half of it.


Guy on right was spending all his time talking down renewables with the standard talking points.

The other two were far more realistic with the guy in the center particularly calling out the most egregious nonsense from the man on the right as not being connected to reality.


Can you be more specific?

The nuclear guy from Germany didn’t make any particularly wild claims.

All the while the renewables guy in the middle from the UK ignored the elephants in the room:

- renewables as backed by gas peaking plants

- other than hydro, there is no grid storage

- hydrogen is difficult
