- grecy 2y agoSeems extremely optimistic to think they will be operational in 10 years. 20 absolute minimum.

At which point you should just put 5B of subsidies into rooftop solar with battery backup (it doesn’t take much to make solar a no brainer, a 50% tax credit would make it a slam dunk). Do that and you can reduce peak demand by 20% in year 1.
