The Keystone Pipeline is a pipe about this wide.

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

It's standard steel, right?

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

About that thick.

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

And you can calculate how much energy does that thing push.

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

And you can, this is gonna be a chemical energy figure, not electrical, but it's basically the same thing.

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

It's just energy.

The Shawn Ryan Show

The Keystone Pipeline moves about 50 gigawatts of continuous power.

So about two, three gorgeous dams.

The Shawn Ryan Show

We can call it a six gorgeous dam if you want.

#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

Two to three times the three gorgeous dam worth of power in a pipeline that's this big.

So hydrocarbons are civilizational level technology.

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

They are required to move energy between nations to power high energy density formats to get to Mars, right?

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

If we want to go to Mars, we're doing that with hydrocarbons, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show

Starship is powered by methane, right?

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

Which is a hydrocarbon.

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

So there's all of these use cases, which I think are very underappreciated.

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

And we'll continue to use hydrocarbons for a very long time.

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

Yeah, no, that's absolutely right.

The Shawn Ryan Show

The freeze in Texas was very related to gas.

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

Yeah, absolutely.
