During the Messmer plan the French installed 56 reactors in 15 years.

So you're saying that in 1.5 years the same thing can now be done with renewables and batteries?

In 2027 it will easily have been done in a bunch of places ?

Canada (mostly Ontario) built 25 reactors in 35 years:

From the 1980s to the 2000s, it took Japan roughly 4-5 years between start of construction and commercial operation for a number of reactors:

Start of construction is many years after start of the project though.
And now that's not realistic, given their track record on EPR.
