Description (excerpt):

The Trump administration has doubled down on its ambition for nuclear leadership, targeting a quadrupling of U.S. commercial capacity by 2050—a total net addition of 300 GW (EO 14300). This is a 50 percent increase from the already ambitious  domestic target of 200 GW net addition by 2050 set by the Biden administration in November 2024.
