Nope.
>>> Excluding load factors we have 440 GW of wind and solar vs. 8.3 GW
> I never said nuclear projects don't exist
Yes you did.
>>> I've heard rumors that you can do both at the same time.
>> I heard facts that people don't so.
> only that their net added capacity is negligible compared to wind and solar.
Nope, see above. But they are also not negligible.
> ...and did for years now.
And I've told you a number of times now that the historical under-investment in nuclear the last few decades or so is a well-known fact that in no way contradicts the fact that policy has now changed.
Linearly projecting a past trend into the future is ... unwise. Particularly if there has been a major policy shift. Which there has.
Arguing that the policy shift that just happened hasn't happened because it had no effect in the past is even less wise.
Nope.
