The Keystone Pipeline moves about 50 gigawatts of continuous power.

The Shawn Ryan Show

So about two, three gorgeous dams.

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

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

The Shawn Ryan Show
#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.

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?

Starship is powered by methane, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show

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

The freeze in Texas was very related to gas.

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

Yeah, absolutely.

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

There's temperature profiles where gas doesn't work as well, especially if you don't build it for that.

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

And this was a very uncharacteristic event for Texas, and it hadn't really been built for that, yeah.

hinder your business?

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

I think that industries will always sort of jockey against each other and PR firms will always try to find ways to shift blame.

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

I do think that in the 80s, there's good evidence that the oil and gas industry, you know, funded some of the narratives against nuclear.

The Shawn Ryan Show

I put this in sort of like, I don't call it fair game.
