So, one energy technology that's available now, of course, is solar.
And everyone knows the cost of solar is dropping exponentially.
It's the cheapest form of electricity humans have ever produced.
And batteries are getting much better at storing the energy from solar and delivering it when the sun doesn't shine.
So, how does fusion fit into that picture?
Are you targeting a different niche in which you're clean 24-7 dispatchable, and that's different than what solar?
and batteries can offer.
load power.
So your ambition, Bob, is of course not just to build one arc power plant.
I've heard you say you want to build hundreds, maybe thousands of arcs all across the world.
Can you can you describe what you would expect the cost curve to look like as you go from one to ten to a hundred and beyond?
Yes.
Right, exactly.
And you know, so one of the
One of the critiques of nuclear fission has been the cost curve did not actually slope downward, it's actually gone up per unit.
Whereas solar, the industry's figured out how to scale to the billions with a standardized panel.
So you're saying fusion is more like solar than it is like fission?
Just to be clear, the twenty twenty three regulatory guidance uh provides that fusion will be regulated like a particle accelerator, not like uh a nuclear fission plant with multi year licensing requirements.
Just for our listeners, the radioactive waste survives for a matter of years, not decades.
Okay.
