approvals or preparing to build them and then shipping them to the site.

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

So all in, you know, that's three, four years before you're seeing it behind the meter.

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

So it's actually, it's not that these companies are not allowed to do that.

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

It's that we're just at a point right now where we're still a couple of years out from seeing those shipments of reactors.

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

Yeah, something like that.

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

I Think that's a long way out.

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

I think at some really tiny scale you start to lose scale efficiencies So now you have to build something so small that You know you have all the systems you're trying to build a really compact you're trying to make it safe and

The Shawn Ryan Show

I think you're going to get so little power out of that for the average home.

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

You know, average home consumption is so small that that probably doesn't make sense.

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

Just like, you know, at any of our homes, we don't have like a natural gas mini turbine that's making our electricity.

We just get it from the grid.

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

So I think the grid still has a major role to play, and it's going to help us unlock the bigger formats that are going to be more cost effective.

The Shawn Ryan Show

Rooftop solar is maybe the one exception.

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

It's like you already have a roof.

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

Just put some solars on it.

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

You don't have much civil cost of building the structure that's going to hold it.

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

But in general, people don't produce their own power because it's just so much more efficient to do it in some sort of centralized manner.

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

Yeah, their demand is projected to be the same as the grid capacity today.

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

Good news is I think a lot of that stuff is not really going to hit the grid.

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

So if they're finding an isolated site to put their data center and they're going to put reactors there and maybe they're going to put natural gas there,
