Power is existential.
If people don't have power, they die during the winter or they die in heat stroke during the summer.
And so you don't get to choose between zero deaths and zero deaths.
You're choosing between civilizational existence or die out and some level of death that is going to happen, right?
And in coal, there's a number.
In gas, there's a number.
In solar, there's a number.
And actually, nuclear has the lowest number.
nuclear has the fewest deaths per generated power of any form of energy generation.
So it is simply the safest.
What would happen if China were to hit your reactors?
So our reactors in particular, we get a lot of benefit out of two things.
One is the fact that our reactors are very low power density.
So what does that mean?
It just means per unit volume of our reactors, there's not as much fissile material inside of them.
So we have a lot of benefit out of the box in just that our, you know, as a target, it's a low density target, right?
You don't get a lot of bang for your buck.
The other thing is that triso itself is an extremely, extremely powerful ceramic, right?
