EU recently passed ban on selling cars from 2035, plus taxation etc.. So every car should be electric eventually. It takes decades (30 years) to build new new power plants, power lines etc..

So to make this plan realistic, there should be 50 (maybe 100) power plants under construction or in planning phase right now. Instead we are closing down power plants and reducing electric grid capacity!

When you say power plants, do you mean wind turbines and solar panels?

[thro388]

No, I mean a few GWs of stable power generators!

But we're trying to move away from fossil fuels, so what's the point in building power generators again?
