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

And doing that takes energy, takes electricity.

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

But if you have cheap enough nuclear, you can do it.

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

So I think going back to the will everything run on nuclear, it's possible.

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

It's possible that that happens.

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

But to get there, we've got to make nuclear much cheaper.

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

So then to your question of what about the other forms of energy?

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

I think nuclear is 20% today.

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

Until it's really taking off, we need to do everything.

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

And the data centers are going to need a lot more power in the next few years.

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

How are we going to do that if reactors are three years away?

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

So we're going to see expansion of other things.

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

We're going to see solar at some of these sites, solar with a bunch of grid-level storage.

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

Maybe that grid-level storage can run on old batteries that are recycled or cheap.

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

So it doesn't need to be really expensive.

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

Maybe there's a path there for people that really need power today and are willing to pay for it.

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

You're going to see solar.

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

I think rooftop solar can make sense because you already have the roof, put the solar panels on.

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

And then, you know, I think wind has fallen out of favor quite a bit.

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

There's still places where there's good wind resource and we can use that and it's cost effective, but it's intermittent.

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

So you have to plan for that.
