A great investment yeilding a nice dividend. Just got approval from Florida to build new Nuclear site. It's time for green engery.

I just wish that CEO ownership of stock was higher, it would put more confidence in overall stock value.

This will be the first energy company to get back into nuclear reactor generation. As the cost of fossil fuels rises in the future, the cost of nuclear generation should decline.
