for sure.

Everything can't just be like little intelligent generators and microgrids that like mesh together whenever and however they're needed.

Yeah.

It's a good question.

I think there's a bunch of fun ways to answer it.

I mean, the one thing I like to say, it sounds a little sensationalist, is that there is no nuclear

That's really true.

You know, we're kind of it's almost like we're getting excited about flight before Kitty Hawk.

Right.

To a certain degree, there's a really coming very soon deadline.

A lot of companies, a lot of little nuclear startups have actually been given access to fuel and facilities and just expedited support from the subject matter experts required to regulate to make sure that these are going to be safe tests.

And so by July 4th, several companies will have reactors built that go critical, that are fundamentally new designs, completely new and from scratch, but it hasn't happened yet.

So it just feels like a little bit of cart before the horse.

Not too much.

You know, I've been doing nuclear, well, thinking about it since 2016, but I founded Radiant in 2019.

And then for a year, just learned how to do reactor design and then raised money in 2020.

And just, I never founded a company before, never intended to really do that.

And I kind of slow rolled into it.

I could have tried to go much faster.

Um, but I've stayed totally committed to just building.
