440 reactors provide 10% of the world's electricity. China can build a reactor for $2.5B per, so $2T in funding could potentially build 800 reactors. Then nuclear would supply 28% of world's electricity. That'd be an 18% increase. Instead we get 3% from wind and solar.

Nearly $2 trillion was spent from 2011 to 2018 on wind and solar energy across the globe. And in the end, they covered 3% of the world’s energy needs.
