So, let me get this straight. You’re saying the IEA is not to be trusted? — I suppose they’re all a bunch of anti-nukes as well. Does that mean you will stop citing their work?

First: Notice that there are two graphs, one charts “Installed capacity” the second charts "Electricity generation”
Second: Let’s be clear, “Nuclear” “Installed capacity” is represented by a yellow “flat line” while the various “renewable” have growth curves, leading to corresponding increases in "Electricity generation”
