>Be the most influential science / infographics youtube channel on earth
>Make lame-ass "why we should never use nuclear power vs. why we should nuclear power" video series promoting the sense of contention on the subject filled with misinformed "downsides" shown as reasonable objections to nuclear power
>Wait 6 years, while energiewende, fracking boom, Korean nuclear phaseout announcement snuff the last breath out of nuclear industry outside China and Russia
>Make "We officially love nuclear power and we need them" videos
>The message of the video was actually "We don't have to demonize nuclear power, let's use them as a small stepping stone while we wait for true solar and wind domination" when nuclear and intermittent renewables have the opposite grid roles.

How much money did they get from gas and solar shills?

None because it was most likely funded, again, by green peace which is funded by coal. It's better to keep stirring the pot about a subject than it is to give someone a definitive solution.

Can't wait for another "why thorium good, U238 BAD!"

Here's a simple, useful tip:
When deciding on whose opinions to listen to or take seriously, consider their aesthetics.
Ever notice that the idiots have poor sense of aesthetics?
Kurzgesagt videos are ugly, clunky, and busy, with a gross color palette.
Despite my pic, this isn't purely in favor of nazism. There are plenty of political parties and ideologies that have good aesthetics, many of which are anathema to each other.
Good aesthetics simple show how much care someone puts into their work and how conscious they are, which allows them to see true beauty.

I think they got some funding from Gates, why do these knuckleheads like Thorium instead of TWR?

Not sure but everyone jumps on it because REMEMBER 3 mile!!! Remember Chernoybl!!! FUKASHIMA!!!!!!! without realizing it just is a few steps away from being with it's brother.

The only 2 things I recall where thorium is a clear winner is that accessibility to it, globally is far easier, and shipping it is mundane. It also has a bit better way to counteract a meltdown or leak of the material, but that's really here or there due to common safety measures. The only real drawback I recall reading is that compared to what we use now you need more raw resources, time to make it in a usable state and reactors can't be retrofitted for them.

I'm not disagreeing but is there any proof?

Nuclear energy is clean and safe to supplement other power sources. But its proponents always rush to "lets power the entire world!" ignoring that this is impossible based both on the amount of rare resources that are destroyed, transmuted, or permanently irradiated by a nuclear power plant's normal operation.

We've literally got millions of years worth of fissile material. Tens of thousands readily available. w/o new sources. It's hard to express just how energy dense that stuff is.
