Can you cite a source or present research data to support your second point?
My second point is from me hearing of a few stations being currently built, some recently launched by Russia.
Which would be the data supporting it? A list of projects with estimated capacities, dates of turning operational, launch costs and expected returns? I don’t have it, but seems like a very small dataset.
Please keep the discussion civil and cite sources instead of succumbing to personal attacks. Calling the opposition ignored idiots does in no way contribute to proving your points.
On the contrary, you need a threshold for what is accepted opposition. You are never going to have the resources to listen to everyone and even to respect everyone. And even to to match every point in a checklist of “behaving correctly in a discussion” without losing the goal.
People replacing nuclear stations with coal\gas\etc supplied by authoritarian regimes and pretend that’s a moral decision are what I said.
I meant that referring to statistics just moves the argument to a lower level of what is the correct interpretation of the data.
I think the statistics presented are very clear and there’s little room for interpretation. It clearly shows that nuclear energy is not viable economically. And again: The cost for storing nuclear waste is not factored in there, which makes nuclear power even more expensive.

I dont think this is vaiable argument from your side. The burden of proof for your opinions is your duty, not mine. Please present sources and data that nuclear power will be cheaper than other forms of energy production if we just build more nuclear power plants.

This is IMHO also not true. If you do not accept arguments without consideration it’s a prejudice.

This was not a decision of the politicians. Politics in Germany wanted to push nuclear energy further, but have been met with fierce protest by the people. So this is the will of the people not of the “authoritarian regimes” you hinted at.

I may have missed them again. Frankly I meant a CSV or an Excel file being linked.

And presuming that your own resource for attention is infinite is just wrong, trying to imitate that more so.

Actually there’s no burden on anyone, person A losing an argument against person B doesn’t mean that B is right and A is wrong.
But that’s also not that I was saying, just that the cost is now affected by recent\ongoing construction and some sites closing at the same time.
It will also be a bit cheaper, of course, due to more qualified people being available with more plants.

I didn’t mean German politicians by “authoritarian regimes”.

That’s true, that’s why civil discussions are so important, since you have the possibility to point out the errors in my reasoning or present sources that have not been considered by me before

When two parties are in a discussion and one makes a claim that the other disputes, the one who makes the claim typically has a burden of proof to justify or substantiate that claim, especially when it challenges a perceived status quo.
I’m sick, so don’t have energy for this argument and otherwise I wouldn’t have time.

Im sorry to hear that I hope you get well soon.

I don’t agree. If opinions are stated without backing from reliable sources, they are merely opinions. Here’s a paper detailing the importance of sources for viable arguments: https://www.sjsu.edu/writingcenter/docs/handouts/Argumentative Writing and Using Evidence.pdf
