36. Climate deniers are such adorable little scamps...
...especially the ones that try to rebrand themselves as "skeptics" once the writing is on the wall and it apparent even to them that persisting in their opposition with arguments based on straight denial that there is evidence "proving" global warming does nothing but make them look foolish.

Now here you are attempting the same two-step dance with the idea of moving our sources of generation to renewables. No, of course you didn't say "it won't work"; you just try to accomplish the same argument by claiming -against all authority and 100 years of accumulated knowledge to the contrary - that we don't "know" it will work and therefore we should not do anything until we undertake some nebulous "test" to be abso-fucking-lutely sure that it will work. Never mind that there is no expert in the field that has any doubt whatsoever that it will work. Never mind that there is aren't even any fossil fuel/nuclear funded researchers that have published any sort of evidence to support your need for a "test".

You're like a child with chocolate icing smeared across its face holding out his empty hands and saying "I didn't take the cake".

You take the cake.
