and we're powering them, and those prices are going to come down.

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

So, I mean, the goal of Valor generally throughout time is to continuously push the price of energy further and further down.

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

And I genuinely believe there's no lower limit to that.

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

Energy can be as cheap as we want it to be, and you continue to march down that path every year of figuring out how to make it cheaper and cheaper.

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

And that is going to be very exciting.

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

How much is one of these reactors?

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

What's the first one going to go for?

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

I'll tell you what the market pricing is for reactors, and then I'll tell you that we're going to beat that by a lot.

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

The market pricing is $5,000 to $7,000 a kilowatt.

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

So if you want a gigawatt of energy, you're talking about $5 to $7 billion to purchase that gigawatt.

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

We will significantly beat that price.

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

So our goal is to be cheaper than everybody else.

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

I think we'll be more than cheaper than everybody else, and just to continuously do that year after year.

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

How long will these reactors last?

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

We plan around 20 years.

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

And I say plan around because you design a reactor for a certain time period and you say after that you can decommission it or you can reevaluate.

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

You can inspect it and you say, does this have another 10 years in it?

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

And you decide yes or no.

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

You can maybe recommission it for another 10 years or you just decommission it at that point.

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

So we do our engineering around 20 years.
