I'd like to add to that.
As a businessman, my biggest challenge is the regulatory issues. It scares the living death out of me to take four to five years. So my business model is nine years to build a nuclear power facility. There's no reason for nine years for this to happen. For some reason, we have a regulatory body that takes four to five years to come up with a “Yes, it's okay”. If we can streamline that...we can get approval for a coal-fired power facility in Alberta in one year. For this process, I should be looking at anywhere between four and five years for that approval process.
For building a power facility.... This is a power facility, gentlemen. Yes, it's got nuclear attached to it, but that nuclear is quite similar in the sense that we do have coal facilities, we have gas facilities. Let's streamline that regulatory process, to make sure that Canadians are safe, yet we fix the CO2 issue and we make it economical for people to build nuclear facilities.
You asked a question about what the community responses are. In the communities where nuclear power is today, there's a 90% approval factor: “Build more right here in my community, come on.” Everybody is scared to death, saying that you can't build them in any other communities. I'm saying the opposite. I have everybody in that community, other than the general public, saying “Yes, come to my community”.
So that little question and that cloud over everybody's head who's worried about opening and going to a new community.... I was invited to two communities. Since then, I've been invited to three others. These are communities asking me to come, not me going to them. So some of that is misbelief.
The other thing is, if we can clean up our regulatory issues so that it doesn't take four to five years to get approval, we would have more nuclear facilities. Because they've got such a stellar track record after the last 40 years.... What industry has that kind of a track record? And you could bring the cost down if you just clean up the timelines, because the cost of my funds is ridiculous. So that's just good business.
