## Quote — verbatim

> What are your general thoughts on renewables through solar versus small modular reactors that can produce 24-hour continuous power? As I know solar is great for residential, but when you're doing utility scale — I mean 1.2 gigawatt — you're looking at essentially a nuclear reactor.
