    Yup. But like any good solution to a complex problem, it’s best if we have a lot of options. We’re putting tariffs on China, which will increase the cost of solar and probably wind, as well as battery imports (and yes, we’re making more batteries here, but it’s going to be small potatoes for a while).

    Nuclear really shouldn’t be impacted by any of this, so the time to really nail down the specifics is right now, or preferably several years ago.
