What's the Tesla or the SpaceX or the Ford or the Apple of nuclear?

Like who has really taken this thing and created a trillion dollar company around it?

And the answer to that question is no one.

In middle school.

That's right.

I mean, I was obsessed with Elon way back in the early days before Tesla, actually, back when they were launching Falcon 1 for the first time.

And I was sort of like, who's doing this in nuclear?

And again, the answer was like nobody.

And that really surprised me.

And I started reading, I'd always read about the physics and I'd read every physics textbook I could find, that sort of thing.

But when I got to this, I was like, well, what does the business landscape look like?

Like who's figured out how to make money from this?

And I found that nobody had, like nobody had been able to build a huge business that was extremely successful and was scaling all over the world to build nuclear power.

That kind of stopped me in my tracks.

And I was like, wait, why has nobody cracked this?

And that launched sort of a multi-year research project of like, how would you fix nuclear?

There must be something wrong here.

What's going on?

And, you know, by the time I was like 15 or so, I had basically figured it out in my head.

Like, I think I know what's wrong.
