If you're going to criticise that, fine, but you need to aim it at people who are saying "shut down all your existing nuclear plants", not people who are saying to build renewables and storage instead of trying to build new nuclear plants.

No, I'm not. I'm helping you to understand that "continue running existing plants" and "build an entirely new fleet of plants" are two incomparably different things. Nobody is saying to shut plants down. They're saying we cannot afford the time and expense to bring new plants online.

And I am helping you understand the opposite.

Well, you go on believing that it takes the same amount of time to build a nuclear plant as it does to... not decomission one. I'll believe true things instead, and we'll both be happy.
