    As others pointed out, to build that many nuclear power plants that quickly would require 10x-ing the world’s construction capacity.

    My counterpoint is that if we had “just got on with it” for solar, wind, and battery, we would have the capacity by now and the cost per kwh of that capacity would be approximately half as much as the same in nuclear. And we would have amortized the costs.
