1. Baseless claim, repeated Ad Nauseam

"The only form of energy that is more reliable than coal is nuclear energy, which advocates of solar energy hate, having no interest whatsoever in the use of fossil fuels, about which they couldn't care less."

The point of the renewable energy transition is to replace fossil fuels.

I haven't seen any comments here from advocates of solar energy expressing "hate" for nuclear energy. In fact, I haven't seen a comment suggesting a ban on nuclear energy, so it seems "anti-nukes" are imaginary here. But I've seen plenty of absurd comments expressing contempt for renewable energy.

The often daily repetition of these baseless claims amounts to little more than a propaganda campaign. Apparently nuclear bros are infesting online discussions and the locals are trying to keep up. Weak sauce.
