Is it a simple question? If it's such a simple question, then it should be easy for you to answer it with arguments and data. Nobody on here has the authority or the right to demand that someone else do their homework for them.

As I often told my kids, if I do your homework for you, then you won't learn anything. So, no, I won't do your homework for you. It might be tough at first, but as time goes along you might even enjoy getting reacquainted with facts.

Actually, it was a union of republics. Which only makes your case stronger.

Thank you for more of your reasoned analysis. but given that the vast majority of electric power coming online is sourced from renewables, it looks like you're argument is not with me but with reality. I'm rooting for you and your delusions.

There is plenty of evidence to show precisely that. Some of which I've sshared. Where is your evidence that it isn't. And thanks for not being a troll by accusing me of Trump derangement. The moderators would probably bestow you with a special medal for using that phrase.

You got me! linking to evidence to back up one's claims is the number one hallmark of a troll. Are you calling me George because I remind you of George Washington? If so, thanks.

Another sterling financial analysis. You're on a roll!

Thank you for your deeply evidence-based argument. So much data packed in it that it will take me a while to rebut.

Thank you for your thoughtful analysis.

When a car breaks down or a non-nuclear power breaks down the potential for diaster is limited. That's why insurers refuse to fully insure nuclear power plants. Once their liability is exhausted, it's taxpayers who are on the hook for the balance

While YouTube has every right to block whomever it pleases from membership, it's definitely unwise. Speech should be free. Extreme exceptions can be made in the commonly cited "Shouting fire in a crowded theater" but that should be literally construed. Not figuratively. The same goes for Tiktok which also suppresses free speech.

What has this got to do with the respective validity of the actual evidence in the case against Trump and the case against Comey?

Just because a small nuclear reactor is technologically feasible, that doesn't make it financially sensible. And which of my quotes is from AI?

No your tax dollars aren't going to support undergraduate education.. The bulk of the money Harvard receives from the government has nothing to do with this. It funds scientific research. Research that helps to keep America technologically competitive.

Nothing at all to do with the skyrocketing rise in prices of coal and gas? I've addressed that one already.

Again, you make assertions but offer no evidence.

Thanks for the empty and nonsensical assertion. You got any evidence to back up that claim?

Maybe you should pass this along to the ignoramuses at the New York Post: Here's what USCIS says about one word names: One-Word Names Some benefit requestors may only have a one-word name, or mononym. The mononym may be a given name only, or a family name (last name) only. For example, in Afghanistan, it is common to have a name that consists of a given name only: Laila [Given Name] For purposes of properly filing benefit requests, data entry in USCIS systems, and issuing secure documents such as Permanent Resident Cards or travel documents, when a benefit requestor has a single name, USCIS considers the single name as the family name. USCIS may insert No Name Given as the given name in this circumstance. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-1-part-e-chapter-5?utm_source=chatgpt.com

US private employers shed 32,000 jobs in September, the latest sign that the labor market is in a serious pullback. The data out Wednesday from payroll processor ADP was far below economists’ expectations of 51,000 jobs added. Private payrolls for August were also revised sharply lower to a loss of 3,000, after data initially showed a gain of 54,000. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/adp-report-private-employers-unexpectedly-shed-32000-jobs-as-labor-market-continues-pullback-123714355.html

It depends on the cost of building the power plants, cost of building new transmission facilities, and the cost of the energy source.

Wherever did you come up with the ludicrouos idea that coal plants were cheaper than solar or wind. In fact, building a new solar generating facility is often cheaper than continuing to run a coal-fired power plant. https://www.lazard.com/media/uounhon4/lazards-lcoeplus-june-2025.pdf

Energy facts: Victoria continues to deliver the cheapest electricity across Australia A spotlight on how Victoria’s renewable energy generation lowers electricity prices. The Australian Energy Market Operator’s (AEMO) Quarterly Energy Dynamics report, released on 30 January 2025, has confirmed that Victoria continues to have the lowest wholesale electricity prices across Australia. Across Q4 2024, Victoria’s prices dropped to $45 per megawatt hour, almost half the average cost of $88/MWh across Australia, and were the lowest of any National Electricity Market (NEM) region. The report found that compared with Q3, 2024, prices in Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania – all states with high renewable energy generation – had decreased significantly, while those in the NEM’s northern regions increased. https://www.energy.vic.gov.au/about-energy/news/news-stories/energy-facts-renewables-and-electricity-prices Quarterly Energy Dynamics Q4 2024 https://www.aemo.com.au/-/media/files/major-publications/qed/2024/qed-q4-2024.pdf?la=en

Apart from the fact that they don't exist, that's a great idea. What Is An SMR, Anyway? Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are the nuclear industry’s latest shiny dream. It is more hope than strategy. SMRs only exist in the imagination of the nuclear industry and its supporters. SMRs can only be found on glossy PowerPoint slides. That is why Mycle Schneider, author of the annual World Nuclear Industry Status Report, dubbed SMRs “PowerPoint reactors” in 2020. There are no engineering plans, no blueprints, no working prototypes. https://www.theenergymix.com/the-nuclear-mirage-why-small-modular-reactors-wont-save-nuclear-power/ Small modular nuclear reactors: a history of failure Small modular reactors (SMRs) have been the subject of endless hype in recent years but in fact, no SMRs have ever been built, none are being built now and in all likelihood none will ever be built because of the prohibitive costs. SMRs are defined as reactors with a capacity of 300 megawatts (MW) or less with serial factory production of reactor components (or ‘modules’). No SMRs have been built, but dozens of small (<300 MW) power reactors have been built in numerous countries, without factory production of reactor components. https://www.climateandcapitalmedia.com/small-modular-nuclear-reactors-a-history-of-failure/ Small modular nuclear reactors: a history of failure The collapse of NuScale’s project should spell the end for small modular nuclear reactors Although there were problems specific to the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems project, the financial challenges and cost trends witnessed in that case will afflict any SMR project... The estimated costs of the project rose to $4.2 billion in 2018, then $6.1 billion in 2020, and finally $9.3 billion in 2023, after it was scaled down to 462 MW in 2021. In the end, the costs were clearly too high for UAMPS members to bear. https://www.utilitydive.com/news/nuscale-uamps-project-small-modular-reactor-ramanasmr-/705717/

What's like like back in the year 2000? Got yourself the latest Blackberry? 92.5% of New Power Capacity Added Worldwide in 2024 Was from Renewables Solar power alone accounted for 77.3% of the renewable industry’s growth (452 GW), as it increased 32.2% year over year. It rose to 1,865 GW of total installed capacity. Wind power installations grew by 11.1% year over year (113 GW), accounting for 19.3% of the world’s new renewable power capacity. https://cleantechnica.com/2025/03/26/92-5-of-new-power-capacity-added-worldwide-in-2024-was-from-renewables/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

"The utilities pay for grid projects over decades, typically by raising prices for everyone connected to the grid. But suddenly, technology companies want to build so many data centers that utilities are being asked to spend a lot more money a lot faster. Lawmakers, regulators and consumer groups fear that households and smaller companies could be stuck footing these mounting bills." https://archive.ph/WEfKf#selection-895.0-895.384
