The problem is more our lack of ability to build them quickly and in a cost effective way. An investment in solar will much more reliably and quickly turn into a certain amount of power generation.
Hopefully this changes once every nuclear project isn't some complex bespoke thing that is likely to be late and over budget.

In fact, any country that has built them in mass figured out how to do it cost effective and quickly. The reality is, its only not cost effective and quick when a country only builds a single reactor as a vanity project to keep the industry alive. No country that seriously tried to quickly increase production with nuclear has failed.
