And
And there's not a lot of technologies that can get there just from the point of view of the fuel.
But if, as some research say, that there's 100 million to a billion years of fusion fuel on the Earth, we have room to go.
And that's at today's use.
So 100 times today's use, we still have tons of fuel.
Let's go do it.
And what does that unlock?
What does it unlock to have
power 100 times the output that we actually do here on Earth right now.
I think that's pretty transformational.
Do we have those huge AI data centers?
Do we have brains that can now think at rapid speeds and now innovate?
I think that that's a pretty powerful future.
I think a lot about how, what does...
vast amounts of low cost energy, low cost electricity enable.
And how does that work with nature?
And if you have power, and this is why one of the reasons we love fusion is that's energy dense.
So a 50 megawatt facility, we believe fits in a 27,000 square foot building on the order of an acre for 50 megawatts.
And compare that to solar would be 2000 acres, at least in Seattle.
And what you can do there is transformational.
