I see the same thing in construction, right?
Like we have this massive housing shortage.
And so we probably need at least a million more construction workers that we just don't have.
The 2008 crisis just killed it.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's one of the reasons that housing is so expensive right now.
Now, if you go look at a chart just online of where we're at in terms of housing needs versus what we have, it's crazy how much more homes we need.
Well, I know we need more homes.
But it's more just we don't have enough people.
We're very familiar with electricity.
You get home, you turn on the lights, you charge your phone, charge your computer, do all the things that we do without thinking twice about electricity, right?
But electricity is a secondary source of energy.
The primary sources of energy that we use are coal, oil, methane gas, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and nuclear.
Nuclear is actually the largest source of clean energy in the United States.
It's the second largest source of clean energy in the world.
And what I mean by that is that whenever we make electricity with nuclear, we're not releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere or even particulate matter.
So there are no emissions that happen whenever you're creating electricity with nuclear.
So it's just to say, you know, everything that's related to nuclear accidents in Chernobyl is completely overblown.
