I'm guessing you'd run into space constraints pretty quickly. For one large project a nuclear reactor is incredibly compact compared to most alternatives except maybe hydro.

I don't think space is a concern in North America.

If space isn't a concern, then transmission is.

There are some very long transmission lines:

Also not really a problem in North America, nor is running more transmission lines as capacity and demand grow

You don't have to generate all of the power in one place, you know...
