Abstract
Let me start from the perspective that we have a president, President Obama who has expressed his support for the important role of nuclear power on many, many occasions. I’ve given just a few quotes here where he speaks about the obligation to leave our children with a planet that’s not polluted or damaged. And in these comments he goes on to talk about his all of the above energy strategy and further recognizes the important role that new nuclear power can play in this country as he recognizes the work going on in Georgia and South Carolina on construction of new nuclear power plants. So very, very strong support for nuclear power at the top of our administration.
