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

But where does it come from, right?

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

So right now it comes from underground, which is fine.

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

It's served humanity very, very well.

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

We've propelled ourselves to the civilization that we are today, essentially through drilling oil and burning it.

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

And that's awesome.

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

But I think we can do even better.

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

The way that we do even better is that we are eventually going to get hydrocarbons from the air.

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

What do I mean by that?

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

Well, the air already has all the ingredients for hydrocarbon.

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

It has carbon and hydrogen, right?

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

So the carbon is in CO2, which is everywhere in the atmosphere.

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

The hydrogen is from water, which is also everywhere in the atmosphere.

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

And all you need to do is energize CO2 and water.

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

So it's sort of, think about this like reversing combustion, right?

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

So when you have combustion, you start with a hydrocarbon and you mix it with oxygen and you get energy out of that and you get CO2 and water, right?

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

So that's combustion in a normal engine.

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

We kind of do the opposite.

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

We start with those combustion ingredients, the CO2 and the water.

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

We put energy back into them and we get a hydrocarbon, right?

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

So I believe that that process will be driven by nuclear.
