The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

What if the car crashes?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

All those sort of things.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

And you could design around that, but I think it just makes a lot of sense to just either do electric or fossil fuels for cars.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

I think if you're talking about a neighborhood that's a grid, that should be more nuclear.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

Nuclear should be the future of that.

Airplanes, people have talked about nuclear airplanes in the past.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

Out in Idaho, they actually tested a reactor that was meant to be for an airplane.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

But reactors are still pretty heavy.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

Probably better off just, you know, either doing electric or what we have today for airplanes.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

So I think, you know, there's some people who might think, okay, nuclear should be every single source of energy.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

And I would argue it still could be, even if it's not used in those applications, because those applications run on fuels.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

But what if your nuclear was so cheap that you could use it to make synthetic aviation fuel or synthetic automobile fuel?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

That's conceivable.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

That's a further way away.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

I'd say, let's get started with deploying a bunch of reactors.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

Let's get their costs down.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

And then when their cost is really low, then we should do those things.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

But it's going to be step by step.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

It's going to be gradual.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

That's like a 20-year project, I think, to get everything.
