6. You're spreading misinformation

Renewable sources of energy are in fact cheaper. Why do you think coal companies are now going out of business on a regular basis? The reason is because renewable sources of energy are providing energy at a lower price than what the coal companies can provide energy for. You also don't seem to be aware that Trump's significant budget cuts to renewable sources of energy are what's causing energy prices to go up because more expensive fossil fuel is replacing cheaper renewable sources of energy. These are well established facts.
You also continue to ignore the serious issue of toxic nuclear waste. My engineer father always taught me that nuclear power is not green because no one has figured out what to do with the leftover toxic nuclear waste. You also ignore the danger of nuclear powerplant accidents. Are you not aware of 3 mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima? If you don't know them, Google them. Poisoning Africa with nuclear power and its toxic waste is not a solution.
I'm curious to know what your credentials are? My engineer father had bachelors and masters degrees in engineering, more than 40 years of aviation and automotive engineering work experience and long time membership in the Society of Automotive Engineers. My engineer father well understood that the continued burning of fossil fuels was poisoning our planet and threatening the survival of humanity.
