The greenest cheapest energy source is Nuclear Power.

Even as someone who’s pro-nuclear that’s bullshit and you know it. Nuclear is nowhere near the cheapest, nor is it actually the greenest. It’s a far sight better than the vast majority and we’d collectively be a lot better off if the fossil fuel companies hadn’t funded bogus “studies” about it, but it’s not “the best.”

Perhaps I can use a cleaner source than gas to nuclear light some where else.

It must give a lot of confidence in nuclears when those that support it need to keep making up claims out of thin air and even setting bots to repeat inaccurate claims in order to promote it

nuclear had 70 years to change the world energy and got nowhere, renewables appeared disrupted the market and are changing the global energy sector at a breakneck pace despite all the opposition and the billions spent in propaganda and political payouts against them

renewables compete and beat fossil fuels handily despite the opposition, if nuclears could never compete against fossils they don't have a shred of chance against renewable energy

“Renewables compete and beat fossil fuels handily despite the opposition”, now who’s making up claims? The only way renewables can compete with coal burning power plants is through huge government subsidies. Modern nuclear power is the cheapest and greenest source of energy currently available that can compete with fossil fuels.

Any claims i make are easily verifiable, also fosil fuel is being subsidized too and so is nuclear

There is a reason why both fosil fuel companies and nuclears invest in renewables...along with everybody else, they are lower risk quicker returns than their own traditional sources
