If we built a whole bunch of nuke plants, with the target of having 80% of our electricity be nuke generated, we could then take our massive coal reserves and use coal-to-gas technology to produce synthetic gasoline and tell the Middle East to get lost

Throw in plug-in hybrid cars which can be charged from the nuclear plants' nighttime output. Most people's day-to-day commuting could be purely electric with the gas engine used for longer trips or for the short times you need extra power.
