Because people, honestly, people are going to say, oh my God, nuclear reactors right next to my farm and at this data center.
It's right there.
I get all that.
But here we get back to the people screaming at me on the radio saying, Kai, come on, nuclear.
I think there's an association with Three Mile Island and Fukushima, and that's what people worry about.
And I don't want to go down the nuclear catastrophe thing, right?
working on the safety thing, and I appreciate that.
But, you know, if this is part of the energy future, I think people have to understand what's going on.
Hopefully, if Equinix buys one of these things, it's not going to send electricity rates through the roof, right?
I mean, the big thing with data centers now is, oh, my God, electricity bills are going up.
I should say here that Equinix, the data center company we were talking about, has already pre-ordered 20 of Radiant's micro-reactors.
Radiant's also got a deal with the Defense Innovation Unit and the Air Force to deliver one of its micro-reactors to an American military base.
You know, you've got some military contracts already.
You're working that way.
The Trump administration is very pro-nuclear, doesn't care much for green energy, but nuclear, right, he's all on board.

Yeah, sorry, I'm just looking at that whiteboard with all kinds of weird calculations on it, man.
That looks like heat flux from the core.
Yes, that's what it looks like.
