"Ignore Distractions

Nuclear power is too slow to build and too expensive. Even China can’t scale deployment of nuclear, which peaked in 2018 and has been flat since, compared to exponential growth of renewables. Small modular reactors are decades away from being a scaled solution if they ever achieve promised economies, and fusion is further away. Appreciate every nuclear reactor that is commissioned as long-lasting low-carbon generation, but focus on renewables."

Time and resources wasted on nuclear are time and resources that won't be building massive amounts of renewables this decade.
