No facility can produce 30 GW. The new Vogtle reactors are 1.1 GW each, which is pretty typical for nuclear or fossil fuel plant. Steam turbines over 2 GW don't

No facility can produce 30 GW. The new Vogtle reactors are 1.1 GW each, which is pretty typical for nuclear or fossil fuel plant. Steam turbines over 2 GW don't exist afaik.
Also, the median new wind turbine in the US is over 3 MW now.
