We're starting in Utah.

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

We've got our first reactor turning on there in the next year, which is super exciting.

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

Is it going to be one?

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

Just one.

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

And then we'll build another one, and we'll build another one, and we'll just keep doing that, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show

Off to the races.

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

Awesome.

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

So I think data centers are like the really obvious screaming need today, right?

We have to beat China on AI.

The Trump administration has made it clear that this is a national security priority for them, that we have to beat China on AI.

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

So powering data centers is sort of like the really urgent concern.

The Shawn Ryan Show

Beyond that, I'm really excited about advanced manufacturing and reshoring manufacturing to the United States.

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

If you think about some of the reasons that we exported manufacturing to other countries, one of the big reasons was labor cost, right?

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

So it's cheaper to get foreign labor to operate these factories.

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

I think that was a mistake, by the way.

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

We shouldn't have done that.

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

We should have found ways to make the manufacturing process cheaper and to do more with less.

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

But this is a decision that we made.

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

When we bring it back, it's gonna be more automated, it's gonna be more advanced, and it's gonna use more power, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show

When you replace sort of hand labor with machines, you're essentially replacing it with energy.
