Well. . .it will be kind of meaningless to have that many plug-in hybrids.
Unless regulations on nuclear power are lifted, there will be massive power outages.

Part of the enormous cost of nuclear power is having it inspected fifty times before you do any construction and a twenty more times per year.

I'm ok with the project being checked by someone from the outside(just in case someone makes a mistake) but the enormous up front cost and time for the inspections keeps nuclear from being a viable option. Overseas most companies that try to go nuclear go belly up because the inspections take them over project deadlines and they are not able to meet contracts or start paying off the loans they took to build the plant.
