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.
And one of the reasons that I'm so excited to be building now is that we're building in the information age, right?
So the fact that you discovered that narrative, right, about what was happening in ERCOT,

But the jig is up, right?
You know, I think everybody's starting to recognize that nuclear is the cheapest and the safest and the cleanest form of power on Earth, that it is going to power our future.

listen, guys, we need to triple the grid, right?
Like, there's no boxing each other out.
If you can get NatGas on faster than I can get nuclear on, power to you, 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.
So I think there's a little bit more camaraderie than there was maybe 20, 30 years ago.
