They should have started sooner and with more plants. But it's still much better for that nuclear plant be complete in 2030, than never. Delays and mismanagement aren't unique to nuclear, and no excuse to stop from building it.

Renewables are way faster to install, for a fraction of the cost.

So why are we still using fossil fuels then? The best time to start building alternatives is yesterday. Second best time is now.

You already gave the answer: Because they should have started sooner.

So that's all I'm saying. Let's do all in our power to get rid of carbon emissions ASAP. The fact that it takes time is no excuse not to start.
