You need cheap power with surplus capacity to grow your economy. I had a friend in SC who worked for Duke at one of the nuke plants, and he stated that whatever economic growth you planned, you needed to grow the power grid by an extra 25%. So, 4% economic growth needed 5% power growth to have the energy available. Guess Joe doesn’t have any real plans for the US economy to grow.

Like when they talk about how the fall of the roman empire, this his is one of the things they will talk about when they will mention about the United States in history. No one can see how it’s right in front of our faces. Not just to decay into weakness, but often to do it to yourself intentionally.

If the economy grows 3% per year, in 10 years you need 30% more capacity without considering the government mandates to convert the nation’s fleet of automobiles, trucks, and natural gas heating/stoves to electricity.
