Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

OK, my bad. I was thinking about scenario like this: https://eneroutlook.enerdata.net/total-electricity-generation-projections.html

If you assume doubling of electricity production by 2050 (development + electrification) then 10% of that would mean more than double nuclear production.

5% would not really be a massive increase, my mistake, but would still mean more builds than retirement.
