is this insane unlock.

The Shawn Ryan Show

Think about the fact that you can pour energy into a container.

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

That's irreplaceable.

The Shawn Ryan Show

If you need to go and take fuel to somebody in a remote location, you're not taking a battery.

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

You're taking a canister of fuel, unless you're prepared to carry 40 more containers for the same amount of energy.

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

There's all of these places where hydrocarbons are

The Shawn Ryan Show

civilizational level technology, which we should not replace quickly.

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

One more example of this is actually distribution.

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

This is very counterintuitive.

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

So I like to point out to people, we talk about the energy grid, the electrical grid, and we think of the electrical grid as the way that we move energy around the world.

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

But the electrical grid is actually a very, very small fraction of how we move energy around the world.

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

It's very tiny.

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

How we actually move energy around the world is by shipping hydrocarbons.

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

The numbers here is about 8%.

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

8% of energy movement is electric.

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

92% of energy movement is hydrocarbon.

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

So just an example.

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

We talked about different scales of power, gigawatts and megawatts.

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

the largest electrical site on planet earth is the three gorges dam in china right so it's the largest concrete structure ever created by humans massive massive hydroelectric dam in china it has a nominal nameplate generation of about 22 gigawatts and practicality makes about 17 gigawatts huge huge energy facility and it distributes these through massive electrical cables that snake all throughout china

We have a pipeline coming down from Canada called the Keystone Pipeline.
