Why am I challenging Dr. Clack?

Because he is selling antinuclear have-your-cake-and-eat-it renewable energy studies that he asserts "find" least-cost energy systems with little or no nuclear energy, while in fact he simply assumes it, hidden in the fine print of his papers.

Stormy Daniels’ attorney on Trump's denial: ‘Christmas has arrived’ shareblue.com/stormy-daniels…
