Would an electric car future require nuclear power?

The key to the electric vehicle future?

There is no doubt that electric vehicles, or at least plug-in hybrid vehicles, will be mass-produced within the next decade. Yet, if everyone in America switched from gasoline to electricity, where would all the extra electricity come from?

Anyone whom lives in many areas of California knows darn well how just a warmer-than-average summer can affect the power grid. If every Californian started using electricity to power their vehicles, rolling blackouts would be an every-day phenomenon.

So, from where will the electricity come? Coal?

While, I'm neither advocating for, nor against, nuclear power, it seems obvious that the case for nuclear power would be much easier to make if electric vehicles became the automotive standard, which makes me wonder, are there many joining the electric vehicle movement whom have a nuclear agenda?
