And then obviously the Russia and Ukraine war started.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, you can't really go there now.

But I would like to visit with the respect that it deserves because I think it's easy to be, oh, it's not a big deal because the fears are so overblown.

So you have to like walk that fine line of saying, yes, it was terrible and...

You know, people suffer the consequences, especially of being kicked out of their homes and never be able to come back.

But also, this is not the thing that people make out to be.

Yeah, exactly.

So, you know, 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.

And what that means is that we need to use a primary source of energy to create electricity.

Because, yes, electricity exists in nature, but it's not like we're harnessing that electricity to power our stuff.

And so the primary sources of energy that we use to create electricity are coal, oil, methane gas, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and nuclear is one of those.

So those are all different ways that we can create electricity.

There are more, but they're niche.

I'm just going to focus on the biggest ones.

And so 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.
