True

In practice, you are looking at 5-10 years minimum, from site selection to power on.

Still beats 20.

    Very true. It unfortunately doesn't include the delays from bureaucracies throwing excessive red tape at the project, with the goal of, if not killing it, kicking the decision down the road till it's someone else's problem. The UK government has been problematic on that front.

    I might be an optimistic pessimist.
