In what world is simply asking if someone supports nuclear power confrontational? It really is weird how many people are enthusiastic about stemming climate change but don't support one of the few non-intermittent sources for carbon free energy.

"Do you support nuclear power? I'm asking because I believe it's a requirement for grid stability/current battery solutions can't sustain demand during solar downtime" That is a defensible question, that can be argued/countered, but it's not the question posed.

  By simply asking "do you support nuclear power" is not? How is it less controversial to lead with an assertion that alternatives are not suitable?

    That isn't the question they posed either.

      That's a near verbatim quote of the comment.

        No; one is asking, the other is asserting. One can only end in a question mark, the other can end with a period.

        So you don't understand that briandear's comment is a question?
