You can try to reactivate nuclear power plants that were shut down.
I state I live in (New York) closed 2 nuclear reactors in 2020 and 2021, each providing more than 1 GW of clean electricity. Both reactor were closed because of political pressure. If we were to apply the reverse political pressure, I think we could have them up and running in 5 years, if not sooner.
