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

The Shawn Ryan Show

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

So this is unbelievably exciting.

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

It's what the nuclear industry has been waiting for for decades.

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

This is what we need.

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

This is that test framework that we have to have in order to beat China.

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

Again, the reason this is happening is that the administration recognizes that we must beat China on AI, on manufacturing.

We have to reshore the ability to build things in the real world.

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

I would say everybody in the administration is absolutely focused and dialed on how do we allow American entrepreneurs to move forward and to do what we do best, which is innovate and build the best technology in the world.

#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

It's part of this whole decay problem that we've had in the United States where we've stopped building physical world technology.

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

We've also stopped building physical world technology that has anything to do with civil infrastructure.

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

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

It's because our environmental laws became extremely overbearing and made it hard to do anything.

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

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

We should make a lot of transformers here.

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

There are a few companies working on this, right?
