Claiming nuclear power is "the solution" to climate change ignores its monumental financial and practical liabilities. How can an energy source plagued by egregious cost overruns and construction delays be considered a viable solution?[1][2] Renewable energy sources like solar and wind are already far cheaper and faster to deploy.[3][4]

Precisely. You admit it's not the *only* solution, which means it’s part of a portfolio. But nuclear's excruciating build times, averaging 7-9 years globally, and exorbitant costs make it a glacial and uneconomical choice for urgent climate action. H[1][2][3]ow can something so slow and expensive be considered a primary solution when renewables deploy far faster and cheaper?
