Truly the best engineers, the most talented fabricators, machinists, live in South Bay Los Angeles, and that's why we're there.
I think over time, the business will operate in many, many different places around the world.
We'll have nuclear reactors operating in many countries, in many states, thousands of reactors all around the world.
I'm not sure exactly where the center of gravity will go, but as long as there are very smart people in South Bay LA that are working for us and that we need access to, it makes sense for us to be there.
I would put it in the thousands.
I would say we could have thousands of reactors chained together on a single site.
If you look at that total power rating, you're looking at 50 to 100 gigawatts, which would be by far the largest electrical generation station on Earth.
But it would actually be similar to some of the larger oil refineries that we have today.
So I think that's sort of the limit because if you build much larger power stations than that, you're vulnerable to attack and that sort of thing.
You don't want to have all that technology centralized.
So it's more of like a, how big is that station compared to all of your other stations and compared to all the other generation?
Again, you don't want too much centralization because that makes you vulnerable.
So I think that we will get into thousands that puts us into the same class as like the largest oil refineries in the world in terms of continuous energy output.
But if we have 15 different sites that are in the thousands, then maybe you go even higher.
There's really not a fundamental limit there.
It's really just how much demand for power is there.
Not yet.
Not yet.
What do you want to do there?
But I believe that, so first of all, space and nuclear go well together for a couple of reasons.
