Assertions are easy. Facts are hard.
For example, Frances Beinecke, President of something called the National Resources Defense Council, asserts that "to displace enough emissions worldwide to avoid just four-tenths of a degree of warming, we would need a new nuclear plant every three weeks for the next 40 years."
From whence does this statistic come? I have no idea, since she cites no source, but my guess is that she got it out of her ass.
An assertion, like a bridge, needs support. Without it, each is worthless.
