Many of our companies – mine included – are considering construction of the first new nuclear power plants in the United States in several decades.

Perhaps four to eight new plants in commercial operation as early as 2016 or so.

Many of you are aware that the French and Japanese export credit agencies are keenly interested in participating in financing new nuclear plants in the United States, and are in active discussions with some of our companies.

Political support for nuclear has become increasingly bipartisan. Our friends in organized labor have played a key role in helping build support among policy-makers who are not traditional industry allies.
It will be critical for us to continue to work with labor and other stakeholders to build support at all levels of government.
