And we need to do a lot of it, right?

So the natural conclusion to that is you need a regulator.

A regulator is going to protect the public and protect the environment from things going wrong in nuclear energy.

This is the same for any mass industry.

If you have a chemical plant, you have regulators which make sure that those chemicals aren't going to leak into the river.

If you have even a coal station or a natural gas station, you're going to have regulators which make sure that it doesn't blow up and it doesn't kill people.

So this is a good thing that we have as part of society.

Now, one thing I think people miss about regulations is that regulators in particular really only know how to regulate things that exist.

They don't know how to regulate things that don't exist yet.

And what that means is that you have to always have an open space for innovation.

We're an innovative country.

We're a country that sources a lot of our power, power in the political sense, from technology.

We are a technological society that wields power throughout the world through our technological supremacy.

And if you want that to stay true,

you need innovation.

You need to continue allowing entrepreneurs to push what technology is forward every year.

And the way that you do that is you allow them to innovate and you allow them to test.

So the mistake that regulators sometimes make in various industries is that they try to apply the same regulatory framework to existing technology.

They try to take that and then apply it to innovation.

That doesn't work, right?
