The rest is FUD.

Oh yeah, all that I posted doesn't have any sources attached to it. And gigawatt factory the UK proposed isn't even enough for "baseload" which is close to 30GW. Cassiopeia is 3GW last I read. So that's 64 trips to the atmosphere to put 10% of base load there. For one country. But that's FUD, of course.

The only options today are nuclear or burning fossil fuels

Sure. Wind power doesn't exist nor does water power. All dreams I had.

Consider, there can be entire months of total cloud cover in the winter. And even the clearest months are overcast half the time. And, you know, the night.

Oh, yeah the UK doesn't import power at all, no. It's autark and self reliant. It can't depend on power from abroad, that would make it dependent on other nations. And if there's cloud cover in the UK, that means it's all over the world at the same time too. And naturally it means wind, water and nuclear stand still. Solar off, everything off but fossil fuels.

What we are talking about here is being able to turn off the coal plants. You don’t want that?

What is the name of this fallacy? Help me name it.

There's no need to continue a discussion with your bad faith arguments ಠ_ಠ
