But that's only because of the executive orders that President Trump signed a month ago.

I think that genuinely was opening the gate, right?

The gates are now down.

We now have the ability to build.

We can build at speed.

And it's essentially an engineering problem from here.

I believe that the DoD will buy the units that work.

We're going to make the units that work and we're going to be able to show them working and they'll be able to purchase them.

But it's hard for governments to purchase things that don't exist.

That's always like this chicken and egg problem where the DoD wants something to exist in theory, but they're not really technologists.

There's this interplay between private corporations that have an idea of a product and the DoD that has capabilities that they need.

The way that we crack that chicken and egg is that we build a reactor that we know works and that they can purchase.

We're going to be doing that as fast as we can.

That unit that turns on next year is that first proof point.

I do hope that we can put assets on military bases in the next couple of years.

Hang up meaning blocker in our path?

Yeah.

Yeah.

The blocker, I mean, this is an amazing thing to say, and I'm very grateful that this is now something I can say, is now engineering.

The path before us is set by our ability to build the reactor as fast as we can, to build triso, to put all of these ingredients together, to test the systems, to make sure they're safe, to manufacture them.
