I'm all for nuke if they can make it economic and if they can make it safe. So I would argue to you that it's not economic at all. The last nuclear plant built in this country was 10 years overdue, and it costs $14 billion a gigawatt. So 14 times the cost of building solar. So you can make energy by burning prime rib if you wanted to, but I'm for using the cheapest forms and we have abundance of those in this country. (54:13–54:24)
