And what will be the source of energy to generate the

Nuclear power.

have been approved in the last thirty years?

Four, in the last two years. More to come.

FWIW, we should be building 10+ a year for 3 decades.

And we should make them all to the same design: they'll be easier
and cheaper to build and to maintain, and the approval process
will be far simpler. Once a design is approved, there should be no
regulatory obstacle to building multiple copies of it.
