Democrat fools like Jennifer Granholm retired 108 gigawatts of coal electric capacity 2011-2021, now say we need 200 gigawatts new capacity by 2050

It took 16 years to get this reactor operational, 15 for Unit 3. Each of these new units are rated for net summer capacity of 1.1 gigawatts.

By 2028 alone it is estimated the US will need 38 gigawatts of new peak demand capacity.

 

Remarks as Delivered by Secretary Jennifer M. Granholm on Startup of Vogtle Unit 4 and Growth of U.S. Nuclear Industry

Waynesboro, GA
May 31, 2024

Startup of Unit 4 makes Vogtle the largest source of carbon-free power on U.S. electric grid:

To reach our goal of net zero by 2050, we have to at least triple our current nuclear capacity in this country. That means we’ve got to add 200 more gigawatts by 2050. Okay, two down, 198 to go!
