But I just don't think most people comprehend that.
the amounts of power that are going to be needed, that are needed right now.
Look, the entire state of Utah runs on about four gigawatts of electricity.
We have one data center campus that would operate on four gigawatts of electricity.
I mean, that's over 100 years worth of electricity production and development in the state of Utah, and they need that kind of power right now.
So we need all of it.
We need the solar.
We need the coal that is still burning in Utah, the cleanest burning coal anywhere in the world.
We need the natural gas.
And fortunately, we have a lot of that, too.
And we have to bet on nuclear.
And so that's what we're doing.
We can't do nuclear overnight.
It is going to take a few years.
But we can certainly increase that time, the production time, the development time, and then actually getting that product out to consumers.
We've been short-sighted.
There is an abundance of energy out there.
We're the ones making decisions to hold that back.
Those decisions are now changing in a bipartisan way, and I'm so happy to see it.
I'm so happy to hear blue state governors that are talking about energy development again in ways that they haven't in the past.
