    No, let’s make that 20 years of more environmental destruction.

    Okay, hold up. Just take a minute here to breathe. Nobody’s arguing against renewables. They, just like nuclear power, are a part of a healthy, diverse mix of technologies which will help displace fossil fuels. That’s the whole point: get rid of fossil fuels where we can in whatever way we can.

    make the leap to nuclear … in 10-15 year’s time

    We already did. 70 years ago. Then the fossil fuel industry successfully replaced existing nuclear generators with coal-fired plants.

    If I was a fossil fuel lobbyist I’d be pushing new nuclear hard.

    Are you seriously arguing that fossil fuel lobbyists do the exact opposite of what fossil fuel lobbyists have been recorded doing? In other words, are you trying to argue for a proven falsehood?

    If so, we have a term for that: alternative facts. Go try and deceive someone else.
