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

we need to be the gold standard of nuclear again.

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

That means we need to build fast, we need to build safe, and we need to build reactors that are cost competitive.

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

They need to be cheaper than whatever China can put in the ground.

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

And in order to do that, you really need to have an administration that is fully aligned on making that happen.

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

And that's what I'm so excited about.

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

There's really never been a better time in the last 40 years to build in nuclear energy, and it would not have happened without the leadership of the president.

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

He really did put his foot down and say, we are going to be energy dominant.

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

We are going to sign these orders which empower the DOE to finally start testing reactors again, which changed the NRC to allow us to actually go build them.

The Shawn Ryan Show

And it's also the people around him as well.

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

You know, I've noticed that

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

there's just this massive shift from analysis to action, right?

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

From paper to getting stuff done.

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

I was hearing the other day that the shift in the feeling of attitude, the shift in attitude is from what 50 papers did you sign this week to what 50 things did you get done this week, right?

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

What happened in the physical world?

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

And that is very exciting to me.

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

Yeah, me too, me too.

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

Yeah.

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

So this is something I think few people understand.

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

A lot of people when they hear about nuclear energy, what they're thinking about is it's stable, it's clean, you know, you can, it lasts for a long time.

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

There's these attributes of nuclear that they're thinking about and very seldom are you hearing, it's just gonna be so much cheaper.
