Actually electric cars could be a partial solution, by charging at home late at night, might permit a higher base load so that the nuke could be a higher percent of grid. Combine this with the car “providing” surge capacity during the day (use the battery to operate your home during the day)If we started today it would take 30 years for the infrastructure to switch to 50% electric vehicles
I would like to see a higher percentage of power generation happening at the point of use. Forget wind farms and solar farms. Let’s put solar panels or wind turbines on any homes that go to electric vehicles.Actually electric cars could be a partial solution, by charging at home late at night, might permit a higher base load so that the nuke could be a higher percent of grid.

I'm a quasi-nerd. Not enough to know the ins and outs of nuclear reactors. But it seems developers are having problems constructing them at anything close to their initial cost estimate.
