We will have to build a lot of new power plants.

I prefer nuclear as it is renewable and clean. There are tons of uranium reserves. There is three hundred years of uranium in the oceans at current total world energy generation. Fast breeders make more fuel than they consume. So it seems a no brainer. Clean coal technology is OK also. We don't use much oil to generate electricity. Peaker and emergency units mostly. I think we should get off oil because it is used against us as a weapon and our ditsy congress won't do a thing about it by allowing us to drill at home. I am sick of paying muzzies for oil.

Sorry, I meant to say YES first. Something many people overlook is the electricity source for battery recharge for electric cars. We might be able to charge the batteries at night during low load periods. Tesla claims a 3.5 hour recharge time so staggering current grid load would possible. Thus, reducing the overall need for new power plants. But all that energy formally made by gasoline has to come from somewhere and I bet new power plants will be the source.
