““Suppose we would be able to build 200 Gigawatt worth of nuclear reactors each year or a total expected generation of roughly 1.580 TWh, Even with this figure it would take 100 years to completely decarbonize 550 Quadrillion BTu of annual energy consumption and we also have to recognize that energy demand is going to grow, the Energy Information Administration of the United States estimates that we will consume 850 Quadrillion BTu by the 2040's, this equals 250.000 TWh, 80.000 TWh more than we currently consume in a year.””
