I support nuclear as part of the solution. But its construction time should be compared to the construction time of other renewables, not to the construction time of coal plants.

The thing is, nuclear plants haven't really been build all that much. When Voglte 3 in Georgia goes Critical in December it will be the first new plant in decades. We can pump out nuclear but the problem is they're very expensive and time consuming since we don't have the industrial infrastructure, so to speak. The more we build, the cheaper and quicker they can be built, we just need a few more people to take that leap.
