Solar/wind + battery storage can come online a lot faster and cheaper than nuclear.
We should probably increase the construction of nuclear, but it's extremely expensive and takes 5+ years to bring a plant online, even with regulatory fast tracking. Committing to a batch of plants with the same design would help reduce cost, and maybe decrease the avg time to operations, but it would still take a decade for all the plants to come online.
