Pretty much everything that China's doing on nuclear is stuff they copied from us, but it's stuff they copied from us back in the 60s and 70s and 80s.

And then they've sort of brought to a new point of maturity through experience since then.

And we're still back there, right?

We're still trying to just get this stuff working.

So it will be a concern as we pull ahead.

But today, like, you know, man, we got to start splitting atoms before they even care.

I think today we are probably four or five years behind if Valor is doing it.

If other companies are doing it, we're decades behind.

I think Valor is the only company that's moving even close to fast enough to get anywhere close to China.

And that is something I think about a lot.

And we're going to go as fast as we possibly can.

term here you know goes back to the democrats i mean are democrats on board with this absolutely yeah they are you know i think that nuclear this is a bipartisan issue that everybody's taken seriously nuclear became bipartisan during the biden administration now i will say you know i think obviously there will be another democratic presidency uh at some point and uh my appeal would be that you should take a look at what the president did

and put the partisanship aside and keep fueling that fire because it is so important.

It is such a national security issue that we have power, that we power our civilization, that we reshore, that we win on AI.

This should not be a partisan issue.

This should be completely bipartisan.

And it was beginning to be.

I think the Biden administration, more than other democratic administrations before him, were pushing nuclear.

They started to make a couple of movements.

The one flaw I think in this for Democrats is that they tend to be very protective of bureaucracies, right?
