    China is building them in 5-6 years, the best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago and the second best time is now.

      We can’t build them in China, though. Only China can do that. My country doesn’t even have an existing nuclear industry.

      Sure we could start building reactors now, but we can get enough solar and battery storage through the night for less than nuclear would cost.

          Everyone who’s looking to make money is building wind, solar and batteries. Nobody’s looking to invest in nuclear. That’s what the people with all the financial data and feasability studies are doing.

          The only people we’ve got pushing for nuclear are the people who were trying to build new coal plants a few years ago.
