Those 800 wind turbines can be built in a month. Building a nuclear plant takes decades. And nuclear fuel reprocessing had never been economical by a long shot. Your pipe dreams will always regain just that and that’s before we even start talking about proliferation and nuclear waste.

In China they do it in 6 years…

You can also built more than 1 reactor at the same time
I’m very glad I don’t live anywhere near one of those.
And why is that?
The Chinese are really famous for their safety culture, right?
