Yes, I do. And it's driven by people being concerned about carbon emissions and global warming, and common sense taking hold.
There's never been a death at a nuclear power plant as a result of a reactor accident in the United States.
If all the nuclear power plants were closed in this country, it's the equivalent of adding 115 million cars to the road.
The issue for nuclear is that, because it does these good things, like reduce carbon and have reliability and be part of the diversity mix, it gets no credit for this in the marketplace.
