I've only watched the first 16 minutes so far. One silly point from the green spokeswoman at around minute 9 is that nuclear is bad because "it doesn't create a lot of jobs", meaning you don't need a lot of people to produce the energy. That's a feature not a bug. A job is a cost. Moving from needing the vast majority of Americans to produce food to feed us, to only a couple of percent as farmers, enabled (and was enabled by) the industrial revolution, and the latter proliferation of service production. Well maybe the greens think the industrial revolution was a bad thing, but I think grinding poverty is the real bad here.
