When I first read the titile, I thought that the US is going to have to build A LOT to triple global production. Then it occured to me that the author means the US is pledging to make deals and agreements which enable other countries to build their own. Sometimes I think the US thinks too much of itself and that's also very much part of American branding.

Where are my renewable bros at? Tell me this is bad.

The time from inception to going online for a new Nuclear reactor is in the range of 15-25 years.

In the US. In China, nuclear reactors go from first pour to operation in 5-6 years. Economies of scale apply.
