They say about 15 minutes in that their "expert" got into nuclear 18 months ago by reading a Michael Shellenberger book which explains a lot.

Either you are doing whatever you can to accelerate the amount of energy available to human civilization, or you're fetishing obsolete nuclear tech. Pick one as they are incompatible.

Pretending to do both is a cowardly way to undermine renewables without clearly stating what your issues with it are.

They literally show a graph of solar and wind being the cheapest energy available and then just move on to celebrating twitter trolls hassling Environmentalist orgs.
