Thats a good summary of what it would take but I really think the ship has sailed on Nuclear. I don’t think it will have a significant revival in the United States any time soon.
We did have a chance to be like France in the early 1970’s and we were trending that way as I outlined for the NE region.
For now the focus is all on renewables [wind, solar and lithium based storage]. Technology development is moving quickly and capital is being deployed.
The aging Nuclear, Oil and Coal plants continue to shut down or be propped up for a few years until renewables fully take over.
