    Because solar and wind can be deployed much faster. You rather easily have a decade of extra coal or gas emissions, if you built nuclear today.

      Two things can be built at once.

        Sure, but why would you built a nuclear power plant, when you are faster in having a clean grid with wind and solar. The workers building the npp could built more wind and solar after all.

          So just do both at the same time.

        No. The total amount of money available for energy research and construction is a given amount. If it’s better spent on solar and wind that’s it.
