The article states, that 19 percent of power was provided by nuclear plants in the US.

For what is your factor of 70?

Because we also need to replace all fossil fuels used to move things, heat things, etc.

100% renewable would require something like 10000 gigafactories to make batteries, probably not sensible. 50% means we don't need trillions of batteries.

that's assuming everyone moves to only use 2kW of energy, instead of 6 for North America and 4 for Europe. Hopefully switching to electricity will account for most of those savings.
