"Nuclear" and "faster" don't belong in the same sentence. Renewables can be brought online, and start displacing CO2 emissions, far faster than nuclear can. Any expenditure on new nuclear is a move away from the optimal path to reducing CO2 emission.

Renewable sources, yes. But not storage, and it’s that base load where nuclear can help.

[pfdietz]

Storage can be brought on very quickly as well. And more importantly, we don't need storage for renewables to displace CO2 right now.
