Hmm...you think it's ridiculous, but it's from the US government's energy.gov website:

"The United States will likely need 200 gigawatts of new nuclear generation by 2050 to meet national decarbonization targets. "
This was also the official policy statement of the United States at the Nuclear Energy Summit hosted in Belgium in March 2024.
"For the USA, John Podesta Senior Advisor to the President for Clean Energy, Innovation and Implementation, said the summit was a 21st Century update for the Atoms for Peace vision, and referenced the commitment by countries at COP28 to triple nuclear energy capacity by 2050, which he said means 200 GW of new nuclear capacity in the USA. He said a start had already been made and added that the country would also aim to help tackle the climate crisis by helping other countries across the world "build safe, secure, reliable, nuclear power"."
