30% more is just wrong.

Canada needs between double and triple the electricity generation of today. Canada may not be the best example but there is a lot of uncertainty, especially around climate. it is not unreasonable to expect that places like Europe and India will increasingly add air conditioning, pushing the required grid capacity to double today's.

What are the caveats of your 30% figure?
