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

That's not going to really put a big load on the grid.

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

So the grid in that case could say pretty much the same.

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

If we are trying to quadruple nuclear production, though, and maybe double the grid overall to keep up with China or do something like what they did, then, yeah, the grid's going to have to expand quite a bit.

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

Have a major overhaul, huh?

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

I think so, yeah.

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

I think you could do it.

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

Could you do it all with nuclear?

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

Yes.

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

Yeah.

#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

And then even the automobiles, maybe they run on fuel.

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

There's nuclear companies that have an explicit plan of saying, we're going to build a reactor who is relatively large and so low cost.

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

that we can actually do the sustainable aviation fuel production there, or other forms of fuel.

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

We'll do carbon capture, which costs energy, takes energy, adds cost, but our nuclear energy is gonna be so cheap, we can afford to do the carbon capture, or we'll co-locate with some industrial process, we'll grab that carbon.

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

And we're going to turn that into a fuel, and that fuel could be used by cars, by airplanes.

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

Yeah.

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

Yeah, there's a couple approaches.

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

One is pull it out of the air.

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

People are working on technologies for that.

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

One is sit right next to an industrial facility that just would normally spit out carbon, and we're just going to grab that carbon and use it in our process.

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

So those are the two general categories that I've seen of people that want to do carbon capture for fuel production.
