Your panel agrees the constraint is queue and transmission, not raw generating capacity. They disagree on how much firm nuclear capacity actually arrives before 2035.

The themes your panel returned to most across 43 supported sources.

• Nuclear delivery timelines before 2035
• Interconnection queues are the binding constraint
• Role of gas as a bridge fuel
• Pace of transmission permitting reform

• Interconnection queues are the binding constraint
• Firm capacity is required alongside renewables
• Data-centre demand growth is structural, not cyclical

Disagreement is preserved, never averaged away.

The minority position worth taking seriously: Pace of transmission permitting reform. It is held by a small part of your panel but is supported by evidence in the record.

• Can the grid handle AI demand?
• What changed in nuclear timelines?
