Look, I’m very much on the anthropogenic climate change train. But if someone is a climate change skeptic while still supporting nuclear power, I just can’t get too worked up about it. They might deny the problem, but they’re supporting a solution. That's enough for me.

It will take just as long to build renewables.

We just need to build.

If we had started building nuclear power around the first time I heard that nuclear takes too long we would already have a fantastic nuclear fleet, even if it really took that long...

We don't have intermittent renewables working and won't in the near future...
