No, I don't think I do. You asked which was more credible, I
answered. If you want to change that, then CITE SOME CREDIBLE SOURCES.

No, I didn't say that. I have never seen any credible articles
explaining that nuclear power is not green. But I haven't seen all
of the articles. Therefore I cannot reasonably say that all of them
post uncredible articles, and so I say "many" because I have seen many
uncredible ones. If you claim there are credible ones, then CITE SOME
CREDIBLE SOURCES.

You first. CITE SOME CREDIBLE SOURCES.

If they feel insulted when they don't write a good article, then maybe
they will be compelled to CITE SOME CREDIBLE SOURCES.

Can you CITE SOME CREDIBLE SOURCES?
