Right. Well, nuclear power is. It's a difficult issue in that a lot of people are looking at it as an important way to go to a zero carbon future. I'm not looking to shut down existing nuclear power plants that are operating safely under their licenses. But I am skeptical, very skeptical about moving ahead with new nuclear power. And I have responded to some questionnaires about this and I'd be willing, happy to share them with you. (22:43–22:56)
