You know, I had...
problems with nuclear, I saw some of the things, but what they've done with nuclear is like what you've done with AI and other things, it's incredible actually.
It's long-term, it's inexpensive, it's just, it's safe.
What they've done is really amazing.
So we opened up the industry,
Very strict rules, but we opened up the industry and some of you are going to choose nuclear over oil and gas or whatever it might be.
Under the last year of Biden, China added 11 times as much power generation capacity as
did the United States.
Can you imagine that 11 times under the Trump administration, we will be saying those very famous campaign words, drill, baby, drill, and build, baby, build, and we will be adding at least as much electric capacity as China.
We think we're going to catch them and maybe even have something a little bit extra.
They're going very rapidly, but so are we.
And we'll be doing at least as much, and every company will be given the right to build their own power plant.
So when you build, you can build your power plant with it.
And you are essentially going to become your own utility.
It's a utility to yourselves.
And as I said, any excess energy you're going to sell back to the grid.
and make plenty of money doing it as a result of these pro-American policies since my election, we're seeing trillions and trillions of dollars in new investments.
So at this moment, we have almost $17 trillion coming into this country.
There's never been a period of time like that.
And that's in a period of a few months.
