Sure, that's entirely possible. Build lots of nuclear power plants and run everything off electricity.

I do not expect the "organic" people to accept this, of course.

My understanding is that the availability of electricity is not the issue, but rather e.g. that manual weeding instead of using herbicides is labor intensive, and we don't currently have machines that can do this. But this is a problem of robotics and computer vision etc., not of powering the equipment.
