Well I never.............
There are now just six working nuclear power stations left in Britain. All are scheduled to close by 2035.

Some guys (retired) have had a look at the cost of wind, solar and storage costs for New York.
The official 'scoping plan' say about $310 Billion, One retired guy says $4 Trillion and another retired guy say $30 Trillion
So which is it?
More Focus On The Impossible Costs Of A Fully Wind/Solar/Battery Energy System – Watts Up With That?
One may invoke the views of a major former Australian politician (Deputy PM no less) and an advisor to Rio Tinto (see above) in a "grown up conversation". But one should surely keep in mind that Australia is third in the global emissions that result from its extraction (after Russia and Saudi Arabia), and the fifth largest extractor (after China, USA, Russia and Saudi Arabia) https://www.worldenergydata.org/australias-fossil-fuel-exports/ and so expect that there are smart people to hand to explain how this is OK. Importantly, there are other smart people in Australia available to explain how this is not OK.
I am not in favor of pollling. I am also not in favor of 60-minute videos in answer to straight questions. I am in favor of straight, direct answers to straight questions. You have one: can you justify whj Point Nmber 2?
On the money point it may interest you to hear that the companies you highlight are redirecting their funding into energy sources other than fossil fuels because this attracts massive Govt subsidies, whilst Governments are paying, the companies are marching and not fighting, so, it is no mystery as to why your list contains so many.
Sustainable energy? Is that exclusively 'green' energy in your view?
I am not convinced that nuclear is the best option, simply because of the unknown future risks and costs of storing/disposal of waste. Nuclear is not cheap whichever way you cut it, and if our Govt won't fund it I don't want the Chinese involved.
Unfortunately there is little choice if you want green dependable and affordable energy. Burying the waste underground for decades is an uncomfortable byproduct for some, as is chucking spent wind turbines and solar panels in landfill.
You seriously think that these Top 100 companies are changing their business model to one in which they acquire taxpayer money from governments, rather than selling what they own?
(That would be extraordinary. If I was a shareholder in any company that did this, I'd move to fire the executive and the board; or sell my shares; or both. So would every other shareholder.)
Exactly what might you think a multiple-trillion dollar company such as Saudi Aramco could get from, for example, the UK government? For anything (let alone foregoing selling it fossil fuel)?
How about you substantiate whj Point Number 3: Saudi Aramco, ExxonMobil, BHP, Rio Tinto and Royal Dutch Shell are .....
redirecting their funding into energy sources other than fossil fuels because this attracts massive Govt subsidies
I hope we are not going just to continue to collect whj Points without reaching any answers.......
BTW, I should make it clear I am not necessarily negating whj Point Number 3. In Germany currently, per litre of gasoline, 93.2 cents is State-mandated cost and 77.8 cents the price https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/29999/umfrage/zusammensetzung-des-benzinpreises-aus-steuern-und-kosten/ There is good reason why a supplier might wish to partake of that 93.2 cents ..... without necessarily giving up any of that 77.8 cents.
I think an embarrasiing amount of the "1000 year old" German forest was decimated by acid rain from UK coal burning landing on Germany in the mid 1900s to about 1980. Due to such historic pollution there is sadly very little old forest anywhere, just mono-culture of christmas trees that have grown in the last 50 years or so. Please do not believe all of the most shrill hysteria.
