> Yeah it’s the long production time for nuclear that makes a big difference. Solar/wind/storage can roll out today and start producing energy tomorrow.

Ah yes. The magical immediate construction of dollars and windows. Blink, and it's there.

Wind and solar farms off similar capacity take about as much to complete as nuclear and often cost about as much.

Many western countries haven't built a nuclear power plant in ages, and are only ramping up (against unending pushback). China takes about 2 years to build a reactor.
