I think the statistics presented are very clear and there’s little room for interpretation. It clearly shows that nuclear energy is not viable economically.

The sources for the data are referenced in the PDF.

I may have missed them again. Frankly I meant a CSV or an Excel file being linked.

This is IMHO also not true. If you do not accept arguments without consideration it’s a prejudice.

And presuming that your own resource for attention is infinite is just wrong, trying to imitate that more so.

I dont think this is vaiable argument from your side. The burden of proof for your opinions is your duty, not mine. Please present sources and data that nuclear power will be cheaper than other forms of energy production if we just build more nuclear power plants.

Actually there's no burden on anyone, person A losing an argument against person B doesn't mean that B is right and A is wrong.

But that's also not that I was saying, just that the cost is now affected by recent\ongoing construction and some sites closing at the same time.

It will also be a bit cheaper, of course, due to more qualified people being available with more plants.

Politics in Germany wanted to push nuclear energy further, but have been met with fierce protest by the people. So this is the will of the people not of the “authoritarian regimes” you hinted at.

I didn't mean German politicians by "authoritarian regimes".

That's true, that's why civil discussions are so important, since you have the possibility to point out the errors in my reasoning or present sources that have not been considered by me before

I don't agree. If opinions are stated without backing from reliable sources, they are merely opinions. Here's a paper detailing the importance of sources for viable arguments: https://www.sjsu.edu/writingcenter/docs/handouts/Argumentative%20Writing%20and%20Using%20Evidence.pdf

When two parties are in a discussion and one makes a claim that the other disputes, the one who makes the claim typically has a burden of proof to justify or substantiate that claim, especially when it challenges a perceived status quo.
