Go for it.
They weren't trained to be scared of nuclear like I was.
They're good with it, and they should be.
So I see a nuclear, let's call it a renaissance.
It's coming again, and it's being led by China.
The Middle East even has reactors now.
The UAE has four working nuclear reactors, large-scale gigawatt nuclear reactors today.
It's coming.
And I think the West needs to get on board and get back after it.
Fusion, which is a different technology, is getting closer.
Most of us used to laugh and say, yeah, it's 30 years away and always will be.
But it's not now.
What is it?
It's the colliding of radioactive isotopes.
So instead of splitting something to make heat, it's fusing something to make heat.
The sun is the best fusion reactor we know.
Okay.
And so it is literally fusing these things and creating a tremendous amount of heat.
The challenge is constraining the heat.
For those really interested, we did a PBS show, one of our episodes was on fusion, two really smart people.
