I don't know that it costs "a hell of a lot more" for a unit of reliable energy, but yeah, you can deploy renewable energy in smaller units more quickly (it might take you a decade to build out a GW of nuclear capacity or a GW of solar capacity, but at least in the case of solar you don't need the full GW to complete before you can start selling power). However, to be clear, this is the economic argument, not the health argument that the OP was debating.
