I think nuclear absolutely has to compete with natural gas on price, on timeline, and all of these things that developers care about.
So that's the initial goal.
And that gas plant's going somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 bucks a kilowatt.
So we want to be at least with parity.
Now, we're also cleaner, right?
So it's not just that we're the same price.
It's that we're cleaner as well.
but the thing that's interesting about nuclear is that it's actually fairly new and there's a lot to go down the tech tree right there's a lot of technological innovation that can happen in the future so we expect that price to continue dropping you know i think i think about spacex when we talk about this where rockets used to cost 50 000 a kilogram into orbit and spacex pushed them down to 2 000. i think we're going to look at that level of drop there's going to be a massive massive drop in the price as valor gets really good at making these reactors and makes many of them
You announced earlier this year that you're suing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the NRC.
Why are you doing that?
Yeah, you know, I think the thing that is really important in nuclear today is allowing innovation to happen, right?
If you think about the role of a regulator, they're trying to figure out how to make sure that we have safety and security across thousands of reactors deployed all over the place.
But what was missing in American nuclear was the innovation layer.
we need to be able to turn on test units and make sure that they work well.
And that's sort of the layer that's missing.
So our lawsuit really addresses a gap in how the Code of Federal Regulations has been written versus how the law is written.
And so, you know, we're excited about that.
We're also very excited about the Department of Energy.
These executive orders signed earlier this year have also opened up incredible pathways to be able to move quickly, turn our reactors on, safely test them before we go and scale.
You know, Palmer, we're showing an image there of different investors in the company, Palmer Luckey of Anduril.
