So your solution is to power these datacenters for another 1-2 decades with coal power while you wait for new nuclear plants? Because that's the realistic timeframe for any new nuclear. Vogtle 3 took 14 years to build.

Of course, any "advanced nuclear" that doesn't even have a prototype yet will take longer than that. If it will ever happen.

Don't know why you're saying "your solution" like that guy is in charge of us energy policy, but Virginia already has nuclear reactors. And Dominion has the permits and plans and facility to construct another 1500 megawatts.
