Why don't you share your sources for 10-20% increased costs then? Let me see what you're working with.

I didn't claim 30 years of construction time, what are you talking about? You'll also surely know that you can't just randomly start building a nuclear reactor anywhere - there's a lot of steps beforehand you have to take care of (if you don't want to damage the local ecosystem). These steps take way longer for nuclear than for renewables, pushing your 7.5 years to double or even more. This, in combination with the increased cost as well as the long time until power production starts, makes it a non-starter to solve the climate crisis.

It's the anti nuclear thats astounding, the figures you're presenting are a best misleading when sourced to outright fabrications and lies.

I can see how you might think that when you're inventing things I've said.

Can you... can you literally not read? That comment doesn't say anything about nuclear reactors taking 30 years to build. Or do you think a single nuclear reactor is enough to replace all fossil fuels? I wasn't talking about a single nuclear reactor in that comment.

I don't know how to better explain it to you. Re-read the comment a couple of times, maybe you'll notice?
