      Horizon for going into production of a NPP is at least a decade, more likely two. By that time storage techniques and renewable prduction will be able to cope handsomely and at a lower price, so yes, too late. And yes we are much too late in reducing carbon output (output is still growing) and capturing greenhouse gasses is miles away from being relevant to cooling the planet.

      Influx reduction is our best bet and it will have to happen quickly or this planet is going to be hard to live on.

      Nuclear is not the future or even the present.

          From plan to production is not 7 years, just the building itself. Especially not now that cooling capabilities are disappearing (many of those French installations had to reduce output significantly due to the heat wave this year.) This will mean it will cost much longer to get these installations okayed and their usefulness is further limited.

          Calling me an ecofacist also means this is the end of the line of this “discusssion”. Have fun in your alternate reality.
