Go look at the UAE and what the did with South Korea. The deployed a very large amount of nuclear in a pretty short time from project start to all plants running.

Construction begin:

Unit 1: 19 July 2012 Unit 2: 16 April 2013 Unit 3: 24 September 2014 Unit 4: 30 July 2015

Commission: Unit 1: 3 August 2020 Unit 2: 14 September 2021 Unit 3: 10 October 2022

And that is in a country with no infrastructure or knowledge. A large country like Poland could do this far better and faster with more plants. France started like that and then became faster and faster, until idiot politicians ruined it.

If you are finishing 1-2 nuclear plants every year, you can deploy green energy quickly.

Finland build 1 nuclear plant, even delayed and went from pretty bad carbon efficiency to very good. Denmark spend longer and more money on wind and its not nearly as effective and reliable a backbone for their network.

Right now Finland nuclear is outproducing Denmark Wind and Solar combined. And the Finish investment will run for 80 years, non of the wind or solar will survive that long.
