>How long will it take to build all those nuclear plants? About 7.5 years if you start them all at the same time. http://euanmearns.com/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-a-nuclear-power-plant/ http://euanmearns.com/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-a-nucle... How long would it take to deploy that solar energy system, as well as figuring out a storage solution to overcome the problem of the duck curve? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_curve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_curve

‘Where it’s most effective’ == places that use their energy during the day, e.g, any place close-ish to the equator that needs daytime cooling. Solar farms can be deployed at large scale in less than three years. Here’s India adding 7 MW in that timeframe: https://www.greenlaunches.com/alternative-energy/less-three-years-india-sees-three-fold-rise-solar-power-generation-capacity-currently-10000-megawatts.php https://www.greenlaunches.com/alternative-energy/less-three-... We do have lots of solar panels and lots of solar panel manufacturing capacity. I don’t think we have the nuclear resources we need to produce as fast.
