And in those 6 years, you could have built over 6x that capacity in renewables, easy.

You can also built more than 1 reactor at the same time

The same can be said of any power source?

Sure, but the other commenter conveniently forgot that that’s the case for nuclear as well

You could, but with that colossal amount of resources you could have built 12x in renewables, probably more because of economy of scale.

And if you decide to commit all those resources to renewables, you probably just created a booming local industry of well paying jobs.

But then you still haven’t solved any of the issues with renewables (at least solar and wind); The amount of space they take up, their inconsistent power output and power grids which haven’t been designed for them.
