I'm certainly very curious as to how that's going to happen, and I don't want to hear excuses that contain the phrase "Big Oil," either.
How is anyone, corporate or governmental, going to "expand our electrical infrastructure", without the demand to support it? Also explain how it's "government regulation" that is holding back the nuclear industry, when no one but the rubber-stamping NRC will insure a nuclear plant?
