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

I think that our energy technology is better than helium-3.

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

But it's a good example of China is outbuilding us.

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

They're outbuilding us in the physical world.

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

And we're sleepy.

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

Frankly, the American technology industry has become sleepy.

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

in pretty much everything except software, right?

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

In software, we still have an edge and we've led in AI in many cases, and we've certainly led in software products, but now we're starting to bump up against physical limits in software, right?

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

Because we need data centers and we don't have them.

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

We need powerful data centers and we don't have it.

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

So even where we have been excelling, which is software, we're starting to hit the limits of the fact that we just haven't been building enough.

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

So in every area, we have to fix this with the way that Americans do things, which is private companies motivated by profit, solving a huge problem.

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

And the way that we do that is through decentralization, through deregulation, through allowing Americans to go build.

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

No, that's exactly right.

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

Yeah, no, I think it's going to be piloted in data centers.

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

It already is being piloted in some data centers.

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

And that's where I think the natural evolution here is that you're going to have these what I call industrial power campuses.

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

At Valor, we call these gigasites.

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

A gigasite is essentially a place where we build many nuclear reactors.

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

We power data centers.

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

We power aluminum electrolysis.
