You've completed three nuclear power plants.
They're all incredibly costly and fairly over time and also budget.
So you really have a situation where it's really hard to do this.
A lot of this is probably because of unnecessary red tape.
In some way, you could argue that what we've ended up doing, we used to just build lots of nuclear power plants, but eventually, because everybody needed all the different security things just so at this very place where they're being built, we ended up
Building opera houses instead, you know, incredibly complex and very, very detailed and just so for each one of these power plants.
And, of course, they got incredibly expensive.
Look at what China has done.
China, at the same time, since the year 2000, they've gone from $3 billion.
to 58 nuclear power plants.
They've just spent a ton of them, and they're likely to build another couple of hundred ones in the next 10 years or so.
And they are actually what you would expect, building them cheaper and cheaper.
and on time, about five years compared to the Georgia ones that took about 11 years, because they just treat it as any other development project.
But the reality is you're never gonna get this role back in most of the rich world.
And that's where the promise of fourth generation nuclear, so right now we have third generation, but fourth generation nuclear is really this modular, and that goes to your point of saying it's something that's smaller
It's something that you could imagine sort of being in a container, maybe container sized.
And you just get a factory permit for this thing.
And then you just roll off 10,000.
Look exactly identical.
So you get the permit for the factory production.
