2030s? You know, it's like, we should be talking, we need to measure everything in months. This is really the core thing that's gonna solve our problems is being impatient. Like we need to be thinking about what can we be doing now? What can get done? And that's what I love, the focus of this administration is very much, these are the things that must be delivered inside of this administration.

That then changes how you think about solving these problems. It forces you to realize that the playbook and the process is totally screwed. It's never going to get there. It was never going to work anyways, but now it's just clear it's not going to deliver on the time. How do we reinvent ourselves in this moment to go make it work? What kind of energy should we be looking at? All types.

Like, I mean, if you really look at, you know, we need more natural gas. We need to make investments in nuclear. It's going to take longer. We, sure, bring on more renewables, but look at the reliability around base load, the variability, the battery storage means that we need to be practical.

So I'm not trying to favor one type over the other, but we're going to need more of all of these types of energy. Would you like to see more nuclear? Yes, I would. Why? I think turning our back on the atom was one of the gravest mistakes for our rate of progress. Nuclear is largely expensive right now because we've regulated ourselves to death. The designs that we have are very safe.

Hyman Rickover, when he was building the nuclear navy, his safety standards were set so high, higher than civilian safety standards. because his litmus test was my son will be in this sub. How safe does it have to be for my son to be in this sub?

If you compare that to the Soviet submariners, for every six months they served, they had six months of rest in Sochi to regenerate their bone marrow because they were irradiated to all hell. So there's a way of doing it. You get the right people, the right design, the right founder mode leadership.

This stuff is safe, and it's abundant, and it's clean, and we can get it at scale, and you can build it in all sorts of places. And we have to be thinking about this from a competitive advantage perspective. I'm not sure it's a perfectly linear extrapolation, but in order for our shipbuilding to be competitive,
