Renewable Energy Is Much Faster To Install & More Scalable Than Nuclear Power
“One major advantage renewable energy has over nuclear power (and fossil fuels) is that it can typically be installed much faster. Nuclear power plants can require 5–15 years to complete and some have taken 20 or more. (Constructing a new coal power plant can takes 4 years or more. Building a new gas-powered plant generally takes several years as well.)

Installing a solar power farm can be completed in a number of months, depending upon the size and complexity of the project. Obviously, the much larger ones will require more time, but even they often can be finished in a year or less.
The same is true of wind farms. A 10 MW wind farm can be built in about 2 months and a 50 MW in approximately 6 months…”
