This is what 60% of the UKs Electricity coming from low carbon Nuclear Energy would look like, just 4 new sites on top of the already in development HPC & SZC.
One can dream.

A study found that if Germany had postponed its nuclear phase-out and phased out coal instead, it could have saved 1,100 lives a year and avoided $12 billion in social costs.

2 Nuclear Energy sites (Hinkley & Sizewell) will together produce 61 TWh per year.
A little over the 59 TWh per year that the UK's 500 solar farms and 11,200 wind turbines together produce.
From just 2 sites... crazy ⚛️

Green energy. I wonder how often this happens.
Things to note:
This is based on twin EPRs at each location.
Willington is just on there to illustrate what the sites might look like.
There are currently no plans for the Willington site to be used for power generation.
We could've already had them generating 60% of our electricity now but instead of building 12 reactors, we built 11,000 wind turbines which generate a measly 18% of our electricity, with the bulk coming from fossil fuels.
