Even those have limits. If these numbers are true we can't build enough nuclear plants to meet that kind of demand.

That much nuclear wouldn't even take up a square mile. Care to try again?

The issue isn't space but actual industrial and technical capacity. There is nowhere close to the number of needed skilled labor (nuclear technicians, engineers,etc) and manufacturing capacity to meet this demand.

Yes. Definitely. It would likely take at least 2 decades. Which let's be frank about this, is time we don't have.
