I think you have that backwards. Building nuclear is slow slow slow. I can have new solar on my rooftop this year.

- boringg 8mo agoWhile that is true that there is a lag time to deploy nuclear - that is a vestige of the last 40 years of regulating it out of existence. That has changed - technology has improved and regulatory is under scrutiny. The difference is that once nuclear starts to roll out, as it will in the next 3-5 years, we will be seeing large deployments of clean dedicated load ripple through our electrical system in a product assembly line. Solar and storage are great assets - and will continue to grow but they have other sets of constraints and deploy at small scale (relatively). The large scale deployments have long time horizons.
- triceratops 8mo agoThe regulatory regime also affects large scale deployments of solar.
