The restarting of Three Mile Island is an investment toward the future capital cost Electricity will inevitably will cost in the not too distant future. Microsoft will be the one benefiting, as its long-term power purchase agreement would secure it enough energy to power roughly 800,000 homes every year after the plant is up and running at full capacity.

If you really believe EVs are the future, then we need to build out more electric power generation.

How much electricity would it take to power all cars if they were electric?

The US would need to produce 20-50% more electricity annually if all cars were electric vehicles.
