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.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

In many, many cases, they are people who are taking sometimes 10x pay cuts.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

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.

#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

And so you have people making genuine life sacrifices to work in government and to fix it.

#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

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.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

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.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

There's these executive orders that went out three weeks ago.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

And they basically gave the mandate to the Department of Energy that we need to turn on nuclear reactors immediately.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

And in fact, they set a date.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

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.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

This is what we need.
