“You do the math. On a year, I can't. But let me tell you a little bit about how this happened. It's not just by happenstance. When we first came into office, Millstone, our nuclear power plant, was threatening to pull the plug and end nuclear power in this state. And they were doing that in other states around the country. It wasn't an idle threat. So the state, working in close association with Norman Jonathan, said, we're going to step up and do what we can to keep this plant going.” (10:58–11:06)
