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

And so fast forward to today,

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

One of those reactors is still out of commission, but the other one Microsoft is planning to turn back on to power AI.

So they renamed Three Mile Island to Crane Energy Center, I believe.

And so one of those reactors is going to come back.

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

So this thing that people really worry about, they cite Three Mile Island, they cite accidents.

Hey, nuclear can't be safe.

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

Nuclear is extremely safe.

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

It's the safest form of base load.

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

And even the worst accident in the US history, which was caused by human error that would not occur today and can't occur with the more advanced reactors, even that one results in zero deaths.

And so by not building nuclear,

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

We instead did lots of other stuff.

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

We did coal, natural gas, wind, solar, all those things we need, but none of them are as safe as nuclear.

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

I don't blame them.

I think the fossil fuels industry, oil and gas, have been doing what they've... They're on their mission.

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

Let's have U.S.

energy independence.

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

Let's...

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

pull from the natural gas reserves we have, natural gas being half the carbon output of other types of fossil fuels.

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

And so that's been a big part of how the US actually reduced its carbon emissions the last few years was natural gas.

So I think those companies are just laser focused on what they're trying to do.
