What do you estimate of the cost for new nuclear modular, and how many of them would it take to replace coal in the United States?

I never want the Inspectors General Office to be used as a weapon against somebody unjustly.

We have to be able to find a way to be able to hold people to account in the process.

We need you working well in that task.

We obviously want to be able to get you, and we have been very outspoken on this, the testimonial subpoena power, to be able to make sure someone cannot just retire and then avoid any kind of pursuit on this.

I thank all the witnesses. I appreciate your testimony today and your engagement.
