we need to be the gold standard of nuclear again.
That means we need to build fast, we need to build safe, and we need to build reactors that are cost competitive.
They need to be cheaper than whatever China can put in the ground.
And in order to do that, you really need to have an administration that is fully aligned on making that happen.
And that's what I'm so excited about.
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.
He really did put his foot down and say, we are going to be energy dominant.
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.
And it's also the people around him as well.
You know, I've noticed that
there's just this massive shift from analysis to action, right?
From paper to getting stuff done.
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?
What happened in the physical world?
And that is very exciting to me.
Yeah, me too, me too.
So this is something I think few people understand.
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.
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.
