The best time to start building a nuclear power plant is 20 years ago; the second best time is today.



No, the best time is to spend the first mover costs on renewables in the 50s through 70s instead and then never build nuclear (or in the 1910s instead of spending them on coal and oil). The second best time is to build renewables now that those costs have been paid over the last 20 years.


No. The best time today is used for building out absurd amounts of renewable power - use geothermal for base load and wind/solar for peak load.
