7. Still spreading misinformation

You still haven't answered my question as to why so many coal companies are now going out of business? The simple reason is that renewable sources of energy are cheaper than coal and they don't poison the planet the way coal does. Again, you also don't seem to be aware that Trump has significantly reduced spending on renewable sources of energy which is forcing power companies to go back to more expensive and more toxic fossil fuels.
You also appear to have drunk the nuclear power industry's Kool-Aid concerning toxic nuclear waste. You're badly mistaken if you don't think nuclear waste is toxic. Once again the nuclear industry is downplaying the toxic nuclear waste issue. There have been countless examples of underground storage containers leaking over the decades. This has certainly been true with gasoline storage.
Again, I'm curious to know what your credentials are for making your claims? My father actually was an engineer so he well understood these issues.
