Kendall HughesHOST
How often is nuclear part of those conversations today and how has that changed?

Jason RowellGUEST
It has been a part of the conversation for a long time, but the fundamentals just have not been there in the past.

Jason RowellGUEST
Just in my career, I've been through a couple of nuclear renaissance when we're going to build big.

Jason RowellGUEST
So we went through a nuclear renaissance in the late 2000s and started a couple of large plants and they just went out of control on cost.

Jason RowellGUEST
But then there was a lot of pushback that we just didn't have backing for nuclear.

Jason RowellGUEST
The interesting thing now that Chris and I talk about quite often is from a political landscape, it feels like everyone's backing nuclear now as a clean energy baseload solution that allows us to really, really frame how we're going to go after lower carbon and also build low growth in the future.

Kristen BraunGUEST
But we have to be doing work today to be ready for that further down the road.
