Published | Video Starts at 12:12

They can't hire enough people to meet the needs of the 2,000 people [needed] to restart [Three Mile Island] plant. But it's also going to create enormous disruption among many people in other professions. And so how we help people adopt to this new world and create unique opportunity is one of the most profound challenges of our day. (12:12–12:17)
