How does him arguing for nuclear power over renewables makes him less trustworthy? You completely lost me there. Sounds like you're just trying to find something to attack his motives.
The article he has written is worth discussing, and by dismissing it out of hand because of your politics you are adding to the problem.
We're supposed to be intelligent people on HN. Let's discuss ideas, not who or who not might be trolls. A "troll" who has genuine and substantiative ideas backed by facts aren't trolls IMO, so by focussing on the content the trolls get weeded out anyway.
While I appreciate your sentiment and in principle agree with you, I have a hard time arguing points of people who do not argue in good faith. And it does seem like the author is trying to persuade more than he is trying to make a logical and/or correct point.
"Republicans Can Own The Libs on Climate Change By Defending Nuclear Plants On The Brink"
That's troll language. This guy is not a legit journalist.
