But that's the point. The reality is, that no POS leftist trash in California understands, that the power for EVs will come from nukes.
And that to me is a beautiful dream that will make the Arabs into the insignificant paupers they really are: electric cars in the U.S. powered by our own nuclear generating plants, divorcing us from oil politics.
And this would drive the price of oil to 1960s levels: the inflation adjusted equivalent of 25 cents a gallon (it's almost there now due to fracking and exploration, but...how bout $10/barrel?!).
The Palo Verde Nuclear Generating plant in Arizona currently operates at 1/3 of its original licensed capacity. That was a political decision because of 3 Mile Island. PV now provides 15% of the power to Los Angeles and more to Phoenix and Tucson.
Expand PV to it's original 10 unit capacity and you have enough electricity to power cars and homes and businesses throughout the West. Add two or three more such plants inland and you complete the requirement for the entire country.
Best of all, the moron trash here in California will have to pay for it to Americans in the hated interior. California will not build such plants and preen themselves on being "nuke free".
There is no reason to continue building, or even operating, conventional nuclear plants. The only reason they were preferred was to produce fissionable materials. Molten Salt Reactors ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor ) provide all the benefits of traditional nuclear plants without the risks or waste.
The other significant aspect is size and distribution— these could be situated in every neighborhood— reducing single-point-of-failure designs and reducing the impact of terrorist attacks.
