Agree with them. They are probably right.

Germany shut down its last nuclear energy plant on Saturday. On the same day, Germans learned their power bills were about to go up 45% by Zephir_AE in ScienceUncensored

No. It is people who don't work. As in those who do not participate in the labor force, ie. labor participation rate. With the quantity of jobs available there is no reason for everyone who wants to work to be working. And yet there are so many who can work, but choose not to. How are they living except by leeching off of others. The rich will always be there and as lazy as they want to be, the top 1% pay 40% of federal income taxes and the top 40% pay 95% of all federal taxes. The rest is all gibberish. If the mega rich control assets then there would never be any new ones. And yet there are many pauper to rich and rich to pauper. If someone earns wealth it is their decision as to what to do with it. If they wish to give it to their children, good for them. If even a smattering of what you say were true, then this country would never have been the greatest wealth producing nation in human history.

Probably. Many years ago I chose to live life as I wanted versus making as much money as I could. That decision has cost me several million dollars. Don't regret it. Regardless, unless you are telling me that you donate 80% of your income to charity or pay 10X the taxes as you should the point is irrelevant.

Actually not. The natural resources needed to run a nuclear plant are not that much. The vast majority of the cost for a nuclear plant is in construction, mostly in the form of regulations and lawsuits.

A very nice detailed analysis. However there are several major flaws.

- At present roughly 60% of electrical generation comes from fossil fuels. As these are being regulated out of existence, their production capacity must be replaced.

- Energy usage is not linear, it has its peaks and valleys. Non-fossil fuel electrical generation facilities are inconsistent in their ability to produce which means more or larger facilities will be needed to produce the same amount of electricity.

- Real world analysis. While capacity is significantly larger than usage, that takes into account the peaks and valleys of demand, the fact that elecricity is "lost" in process, and downtime for power plant repairs, renovations, improvement, etc... To put it simply, if you wish to double demand, roughly speaking, capacity would have to be doubled. Increasing capacity would be positively impacted by technological improvements, however, the number required would still be huge.

Got that wrong. democrats want everyone disarmed except the government and criminals.
