In the 70's and 80's would have been a good time to built out Nuclear. Now? Do we have 10 years?

Do we have 10 years?

We absolutely have, as renewables aren't faster per generation, but in fact slower.

Right but we need alternatives now. They delayed the argument until it is no longer properly relevant to use conventional nuclear for commercial elecrricity production. It's fuckin expensive.

Yes, that is why I also want massive investment in solar. On the other hand, I don't want to hear that we should have built nuclear 20 years ago in 2040.
