If we're not already on track to end fossil fuel consumption within the time it takes to build a nuclear reactor, then the nuclear reactor will help get there faster. And the current goals are 2050 or much later in some countries, we can and should move that closer in time by 10 years, and would still be able to use nuclear power to help with that.

And we'll still need power after getting rid of fossil fuels, too.
