They're dozens of billions of dollars.
They also take sometimes seven years to build.
Now, the administration is doing
a superb job at um taking a very hard look at regulations and figuring out ways of actually compressing that window.
But it it's still kept very capital intensive.
And so working with um partners including in the Middle East to um make sure that we actually get those projects capitalized could actually potentially move really move the needle.
I mean, I think it really starts with policy uncertainty.
So you have I mean, if compressing the window has a huge impact on the cost analysis that a lot that that a lot of investors make um uh when they decide whether or not to invest.
And then as far as pockets of money go, um, you know, there are
And and and as as you know, when you have delays like that, the costs compound because you're paying interest on loans, because you're paying legal fees.
And so it's not even just a perfectly linear extension of the cost.
It's you're actually, you know, your costs actually go up on a compounding curve.
And so, um, yeah, and so the time value of money with nuclear invest uh and
Energy investments is actually super valuable.
And the one of the ways in which the US government has an opportunity, and you know, if confirmed, I hope to help play a role in, is um is historically um this this uh government body called Cepheus has uh scrutinized very heavily foreign investment in critical infrastructure, including in nuclear facilities.
Um
Um, my hope is that there's an opportunity to actually create partnerships with strategic foreign investors to be able to absorb foreign investment in order to use that capital to actually boost our domestic energy supply.
Because there is so much capital that's been committed, it would be beneficial for the country to use some of it to expand our overall electricity supply.
I mean, I think it's eminently doable.
And I actually think it's doable with just the right incentives.
