Among other issues, do we know the state of the electrical grid in 2035? Will we be able to generate enough electricity to recharge over 100 million cars a day at that time? Are we working on that?

No new nuke plants since Three Mile Island and that was in 1979.

—”No new nuke plants since Three Mile Island and that was in 1979.”

NOT EXACTLY.
BUT THE USUAL SOURCES DELAY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

Radioactive fuel is being loaded at Georgia’s new nuclear power plant.

That’s technically not true. They stopped issuing permits after that. Several plants were in construction then, and some were finished.
Last, and largest nuclear PP in the USA is Palo Verde in AZ. The construction was finished in 1988!
It has three units. They wanted to build five, but were stopped at three.
The space is still there!
