There's a lot of factors that go into getting nuclear to happen somewhere.

Once you've done that, you've done the hard part.

And so the natural conclusion is you should double down on that.

So you already have a nuclear site.

Why not keep building reactors there and keep doing that way more than anyone thinks is possible?

So this is really sort of the core DNA of Valor, and these are conclusions that I had when I was 15, and I've really been working on that now for the last 10 years.

So we built two.

We built two.

So two units turned on in Georgia, Vogel 3 and Vogel 4.

So these were sort of additions to an existing plant.

And those turned on in, I think 2019 and 2020, I believe is when those turned on.

So we have two.

Now that project was a disaster.

It was eight years over timeline and about $15 billion over budget.

So it's a travesty, really.

Power should be cheap, right?

The whole point of nuclear is that it's cheap.

That should be the point of nuclear, at least.

So I would say that that was a failure.

And Hinkley Point C in the UK is another example of this.
