Yes, it takes a long time to put Gigawatts of new power on the grid. It is sad building nuclear power plants has been politically impossible until recently.

But as the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree…

Poland will deploy 6GW of new solar this year alone, which is comparable to 1GW of nuclear. So that is a nuclear reactor's worth of CO2 emissions reductions in just one year.

And how long did it take to build those 6GW? from project start to finish?

And no, solar power is equal to nuclear power. Where is my solar power night time?

Where is your nuclear when the plant is under construction?

It took a lot less than the 10 years best case we'll get here.
