Comment on We can do all three things at once

Asking for a source just to ask for a source is called sealioning.

Good grief, no.

I read so much absolute bullshit around nuclear and renewables where people just write out their feelings on the subject. Asking for sources to back up their claims isn’t sealioning, it’s a polite way of asking someone to try and back up their claims with facts.

Here are the claims he made:

We could have had an unrivaled nuclear power infrastructure but those NIMBY assholes stopped it 50 years ago

now we rely on extending existing plants past their lifetimes

Running in fucking circles about how to save the planet.

Has anyone who wants to “go green” without nuclear ever looked at the power output of these things?? It’s not even the same league

So which part do you know to be false, that you couldn’t easily look up and had to ask him where he got this obscure info? Which part do you want him to source? All of it? Even the part where we are running in circles fixing climate change?

Right, you were just sealioning.

  Re-read what I wrote, I was quite clear although I edited my post a minute after submitting so maybe you missed it.
  
  You can claim I’m seasoning all you want, anyone with a functioning brain can see I’m not.

    I don’t need to reread what you wrote, im not the one making the claims!
    
    What you actually said to buddy was:
    
    Please provide valid sources to back up your comment. Thanks.
    
    That message is the one you might want to edit instead of arguing with me it’s not sealioning.
