the simplest way to stop climate change would be a massive transition to nuclear power, ideally fusion, but until the technology is there for fusion, fission. nuclear power, great though it is, costs money, huge amounts of money



This is now a falacy. We’ve burnt through the time we had to do this. Nuclear solutions now cost much more comparatively.

Solar won and it’s the storage of cheaply generated power than now needs maximum investment and support.

Nuclear continues to be discussed mainly because it reverses the decentralisation of energy reliance that’s occurring as solar spreads.


I’m not sure the word fallacy means what you think it means


A mistaken belief; an unsound argument.


yeah and what we're describing here is a disagreement in opinion, not a factual inaccuracy.


It doesn’t help your argument to start debating petty, irrelevant things (e.g. did they use “fallacy” correctly)


it doesn't help their argument to start off with "this is a falacy"
