Regarding the generation of electricity, if all gas cars were replaced by EVs today, we would need an additional 25%. Since it will probably take 20 years to replace a majority of the gas cars with EVs, we have time for electricity production to ramp up. It would be nice if this country could see it's way to adopt the new nuclear reactor designs and increase the amount of power from nuclear.
Very strange how everyone is going away from nuclear at a time when more energy is needed
