"So clearly, from that standpoint, we see partnerships making sense. I do envision over a longer period of time that they can participate in the joint ownership of nuclear plants or maybe the joint ownership of coal facilities or even the joint ownership of a utility within the US. So again, I do think that these are opportunities that are on the horizon, and we're certainly not ruling any of them out as potential opportunities."
