You ignore the time it takes to get a nuclear power plant online. Let alone all the permissions for it.

Know what would work today? Reducing our energy consumption.

Also western nations have been doing this for the last 30 years. The house you live in today has appliances that are 3x or more efficient then it did 30 years ago. It's better insulated, it's more recyclable etc.

It also doesn't make a damn bit of difference of base load power comes from coal.
