In short: Illustrative — he knows CGN well; "they build like Ford used to build — you can have any color you want as long as it's black."

46:02We never got economies of scale. We never got standardization, right? We never got the cost structure down. — And I know the people at China General Nuclear very well. They build like Ford used to build. You can have any color you want as long as it's black, — right? This is the model we sell, — right? And I think the US is finally getting the memo on that and we got a lot of ground to make up, but it's exciting for this future, right? Yeah, — I think that's right.
