Also, a huge percentage of industrial emissions is due to fossil fuels being used for direct heating (e.g. natural gas used to fire a boiler or furnace). These loads can be electrified, they must be electrified, but electrifying them will take an unbelievable amount of power even compared to what we produce today.
Our grid will probably need to produce 3-4x what it currently does to get us electrified fully. A rapid paced plan to build a standard reactor design en masse is the only reasonable way to do that in a short period of time.
