Nuclear appears to have two problems: it takes so long to build reactors that their solution comes too late, and they are way more expensive than renewables. I don’t have a problem with nuclear, but if wind (or solar) and storage is faster and cheaper, why bother?

My understanding is that once nuclear plant is built the capacity vastly exceeds renewables my several orders of magnitude. A coordinated effort to build multiple power plants could probably get a large country to net zero in decades.
