Portugal just ran on 100% renewables for six days ...
The second best time to build nuclear is today.

Not if you get the equivalent of multiple NPPs in renewables installed
every month
it isn't. The best time to build nuclear was before Chernobyl, and since Fukushima new nuclear plants are dead basically.

The third best time to build nuclear is in about 20 years, when we develop fusion.

There is no reason to believe that fusion will be cost competitive.

If fusion is nuclear than solar is too ;-)
