Coal power plants being built

For a sense of how much 5000-10000 nuclear reactors is, here's roughly how many 1GW coal power plants have been built in the world since 2000 (based on BP statistical review):

Year - Number of 1GW coal power plants built that year (assuming 24/7 operation)
2000 - 45
2001 - 10
2002 - 26
2003 - 100
2004 - 88
2005 - 77
2006 - 68

So, 100 new coal power plants per year is possible, that's 4000 over 40 years. I would guess building a nuclear power would be more complicated than building a new coal power plant. It's definitely a big job! But then again, so are our future energy problems.
