It is reported that the State of Texas is looking at adding "the equivalent of 30 nuclear reactors by 2030" in order to meet the requirements to connect up new data centres to the grid.
A quick glance at relative population levels reveals that the UK has around twice the population of Texas, so if population size is indicative of power requirement, the UK may need up to 60 new "nuclear reactors" over the next 5 years.
The government seems to agree - at least on the need for data centres ...
.. but has anybody thought to tell Ed Miliband?
