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.

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

We power advanced manufacturing.

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

We create chemical fuels.

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

There's a great amount of power, and that power begins to be sold outside of that very small industrial grid.

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

Well, large power, small footprint industrial grid, and we begin to serve communities outside of that.

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

I think it's going to be a natural evolution.

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

There needs to be regulatory change for that to happen.

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

Only a few states have figured this out and gotten ahead of the ball and drafted and passed legislation to make this legal.

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

Utah is one of them.

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

That's where our first nuclear project is in the United States.

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

What do you power in there?

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

I went on Bloomberg a couple weeks ago with the governor of Utah, and we announced together that we have the San Rafael Energy Research Center in Emory County, Utah, where we're going to be turning on our first test reactor.

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

so super exciting the goal is july 4th next year incredibly incredibly important important moment for the united states if we can hit that hit that date extremely excited about it we'll build more reactors there as well and i do think we'll power data centers there and beyond the data centers again there will be electrolysis there will be manufacturing and we'll see where it goes after that you know our our thought here is that

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

We need to begin building power for the most critical things.

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

And if we allow ourselves to deregulate and decentralize, the problem will sort of fix itself, right?
