Then when the article gets to politicians supporting dead ideas, the examples they give are not dead at all. Not that they are correct, just that they are far from "definitely proven wrong" like nuclear power.

Right, the author makes no effort whatsoever to actually argue these points--he only needs to call them "dead" i.e. unfashionable.
