Yeah.

Nuclear is really counterintuitive.

People do not understand, um, the magnitude of nuclear.

So before I talk about nuclear, let's, let's talk about coal for a second.

So coal is really cool.

If you're holding a chunk of coal in your hand, you're holding a pretty extraordinary thing, right?

You're holding a chunk of energy and that's super exciting.

So, you know, if you're digging and you find a chunk of coal, what have you found?

Well, holding it in your hand, the chunk of coal that fits in about the size of your hand has so much energy in it.

It has enough energy to propel you, your body, about five and a half miles into the sky, right?

If you expended all that energy on pushing you up off the surface of the planet, you would go about five and a half miles into the sky.

If you put that into a car, which is a big, heavy thing that can take all your family and your groceries and everything, you can go about 10 miles down the road with that chunk of coal.

So it's an extraordinary, extraordinary thing.

And it's served us very well as humanity to be able to do that.

Now, one very, very counterintuitive fact about nuclear is that nuclear fuel is spread all throughout the earth, right?

There's a couple of caches and deposits of uranium and thorium that are more concentrated, but nuclear in general is just like spread throughout the earth.

So about 10 parts per million of every just rock outside has 10 parts per million is nuclear material.

There's trace nuclear material in basically every rock that you pick up outside.

Here's a crazy fact for you.

So we talked about this chunk of coal that fits in your hand and how much energy it has in it.
