11. It is just as valid to claim that renewable energy saves lives.

It also has a very real potential to be part of a solution to climate change, as opposed to a mere "only-nuclear" atomic fantasy.

But I won’t claim it follows that “anti-renewable” ignorance kills people, because as an actual non-moron I understand the nonsensical “anti-renewable” rhetoric is being ignored by policy-makers and investors. It's drowned out as the real economic advantages of renewable energy technologies become the central basis of the clean energy future.
