And doing that takes energy, takes electricity.
But if you have cheap enough nuclear, you can do it.
So I think going back to the will everything run on nuclear, it's possible.
It's possible that that happens.
But to get there, we've got to make nuclear much cheaper.
So then to your question of what about the other forms of energy?
I think nuclear is 20% today.
Until it's really taking off, we need to do everything.
And the data centers are going to need a lot more power in the next few years.
How are we going to do that if reactors are three years away?
So we're going to see expansion of other things.
We're going to see solar at some of these sites, solar with a bunch of grid-level storage.
Maybe that grid-level storage can run on old batteries that are recycled or cheap.
So it doesn't need to be really expensive.
Maybe there's a path there for people that really need power today and are willing to pay for it.
You're going to see solar.
I think rooftop solar can make sense because you already have the roof, put the solar panels on.
And then, you know, I think wind has fallen out of favor quite a bit.
There's still places where there's good wind resource and we can use that and it's cost effective, but it's intermittent.
So you have to plan for that.
