Everyone: Doesn’t Nuclear take a long time to build? Me:

Thank you to @NZNGlobal for the opportunity to tour this amazing facility ❤️

You keep saying Barakah was fast to build. Planning started in 2007.

12 years is long.

For a plant with four reactors that supplies 25% of the nations electricity and will operate for 60+ years, seems reasonable to me.

After only 12 years already 3 out of 4 reactors are already working.😂 /PM

Meanwhile ...

We love to see it

Is UAE the country with the highest amount of low carbon electricity production added pp over the past decade? If so, it makes quite a lot of sense they host the COP this year.. Cc: @energybants, @Grace_Stanke, @_HannahRitchie, @larsroobol, @mark_lynas, @Dr_Keefer

I think this falls into the “best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now” mentality. Build more nuclear now.
