We Need to Build 5,000 - 6,000 Nuclear Power Plants by the 2050s to Meet World Energy Needs

We Need to Build 5,000 - 6,000 Nuclear Power Plants by the 2050s to Meet World Energy Needs 

If we can get one-third of world energy from nuclear power sources (which is 100% of 1990 world energy use), can we get renewables and fossil fuels to DOUBLE 1990 energy use to provide two-thirds of the world’s 2050s energy requirements?

Or do we need to produce more nuclear power?
