Nuclear has huge hurdles and long implementation times because of hysterical anti-nuclear activists. It's not inherent in the engineering. If we care about climate change, it needs to be acknowledged that the activists created artificial delays and those should be removed forthwith.

Even China takes >5 years to build a nuclear plant. China normally builds non-controversial infrastructure 3X as fast as the US, so by that rule of thumb a nuclear plant would take 15 years in the US, and longer if you don't get rid of the anti-nuclear activists.
