Is nuclear power the solution to climate change?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is nuclear power the solution to climate change?". Your opponent's style: Winston Churchill

I think it is yes.

You're dodging the real question. "Yes" assumes nuclear solves climate change, but that's backwards logic. Nuclear plants take 10-15 years to build while solar and wind deploy in months. Meanwhile, emissions continue accelerating. You're betting on a slow horse in a sprint. Plus, the waste problem remains unsolved after 70 years, and decommissioning costs explode. Climate doesn't care about your elegant long-term solution if we're out of time now. Why are you prioritizing the technology with the longest deployment timeline when we need emissions cuts this decade, not 2040?
