A nuclear power plant can easily take a decade to build (Hinkley C, announced 2010, approved 2016, generation expected 2025), how many decades will it take to build enough plants to replace our current fossil fuel based generation? Building one-offs after spending years battling scientific illiteracy in the courts is indeed time consuming, but there is actually no reason we couldn't just churn them out assembly line style. The technology is pretty mature now. We should now be focusing renewables and, more cruicially, storage. Those things aren't without lead time either. Wind farms don't grow on trees. Solar panels have an intricate manufacturing process requiring rare earth elements.
