If you talk to the people who are in the White House who are in the agencies today,
They are not the people that you would normally see working in government.
In many, many cases, they are people who are taking sometimes 10x pay cuts.
They're making 10% of what they were making in the private sector, but they're doing it out of a spirit of national service.
They believe that this is an existential threat to the country to fix these issues, to be able to make power again.
And so you have people making genuine life sacrifices to work in government and to fix it.
And I mean, you have to give President Trump credit for that in bringing this unbelievably talented, motivated group of people together to do that.
This is all, it's all action, right?
If you go into any of the agencies today, you would have seen in the last 20 years, really, you would have seen a lot of policies and a lot of papers and a lot of thoughts and very little action.
And today it's all action everywhere.
So Chris is like probably the best example of this.
And it's like, you know, easy for me to say because I'm a nuclear and the DOE is leading the charge on this.
But from Chris all the way down through his staff, you have the most motivated people I've ever seen picking up the baton from the president.
There's these executive orders that went out three weeks ago.
And they basically gave the mandate to the Department of Energy that we need to turn on nuclear reactors immediately.
And in fact, they set a date.
So by July 4th, 2026, the president has ordered that the DOE allow three advanced reactors to turn on on American soil outside the national lab system.
So this is unbelievably exciting.
It's what the nuclear industry has been waiting for for decades.
This is what we need.
