It's not something that I would do, but it's something you should expect in business.

In business, you should expect counter narratives.

But, you know, what's more interesting to me today is like,

how much of the physics is inevitable because at the end of the day, you can only lie to people for so long.

And I do think that people have been lied to about nuclear.

#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

And one of the reasons that I'm so excited to be building now is that we're building in the information age, right?

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

So the fact that you discovered that narrative, right, about what was happening in ERCOT,

is a product of the fact that we live in an age of the internet, right?

We're all going as fast as we can, and we're still not going to be able to catch up to the actual demand for generation.
