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

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

hinder your business?

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

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.

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

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,

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

So these narratives only last for so long in an age when information travels at the speed of light and we all have X and we all have podcasts that we listen to and these sorts of things.

So I think that nuclear has been under this narrative burden coming from rivals and maybe oil and gas a little bit and maybe renewables and just various people who didn't want nuclear to happen.

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.

And also that the demand for energy is so enormous that I think it's kind of pushed away a lot of the competition feeling between the generation sources.

listen, guys, we need to triple the grid, right?
