During this time, the same company built two similar plants in another country.

One nuclear plant a year should be built from 2019, the plan says.

To do that you'd actually have to build new plants.

Texas officials also say it takes far less time to build a plant here than in California.

The companies say they may later consider building a plant together, at a cost that could reach $750 million.
