And when you restart a plant, you can restart almost a gigawatt of capacity, you know, for a little over a billion dollars or $2 billion. The cost, the capital cost for it is far cheaper than new nuclear. So yes, The Palisades plant will come on hopefully later this month. The formal Three Mile island that's now called the Crane Nuclear center or Clean Energy center. I prefer nuclear center. The Crane plant that is in the process of restarting, that's eight, maybe 18 months out. (31:03–31:07)
