* Building and maintaining a nuclear plant is NOT climate friendly. The emissions do happen just somewhere else.

So, the article is BS and repeating a lie once again.

No, that statement is BS if you compare it to climate-friendliness of all other solutions. PV arrays don't grow on tree, they involve a lot of carbon emissions and highly toxic processing, but if it's done in China, then apparently nobody cares.

I did not claim that otherwise.
