It would be great if I actually saw some production happen from these resources in my lifetime!!!!
I was on the preliminary engineering team for what was to be the first NPRA production site in 2005. Project has been held up since that time for permitting issues, but recently crossed another, but not yet final, hurdle.

I am hopeful but not expecting progress, especially with the current administration. Just like I have been regarding a new nuclear power plant inthe U.S.
