The promotion of nuclear power.

To that end he makes absurd arguments and outright false claims regarding renewable energy. Long time posters here know that he is impervious to reasoned discussion and contextualized, fact-based understanding of anything that is a threat to nuclear power.

A concrete example to verify this statement on his tactics is in order - what data sets does he use to determine the lifespan of wind and solar?

What deficiencies do those data sets present in relation to the claims he makes regarding wind and solar; are they representative?
