Scott Nolan, welcome to the show, man. Thanks for having me. Excited to be here. Yeah, I'm excited to have you. I've been really interested in the energy grid. I think I started looking into that probably about two years ago, and now I'm terrified at the US's grid and our power consumption versus how much power we actually produce and how we're relying on China for all these things.
With what you're doing with enriching uranium and being involved in nuclear energy, I'm just fascinated in the subject. And so, yeah, thank you for coming. So it's going to be very educational for me.
Yeah, thanks for having me. This is a really important topic, which we'll get into. You know, our company's mission is to restore U.S. leadership and enrichment, to restore U.S. leadership in nuclear energy, because that's what we see as the future of the grid, the future of U.S. growth, power growth. And we'll get into all the geopolitical reasons why that's really important. Perfect. Perfect.
Everybody starts with an introduction, right? Here we go. Scott Nolan, CEO of General Matter, the American enrichment company enriching uranium in the US to fill the nuclear gap. Former SpaceX engineer who helped develop the original Falcon propulsion system and Dragon capsule subsystem. You worked with NASA to return US cargo capability to the space station.
You're a partner at the Founders Fund. where, for over a decade, you have led investments across energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, space, and transportation.
Cornell mechanical and aerospace engineering graduate, Stanford MBA, where you were co-president of the Entrepreneur's Club, and you're a visionary taking on the geopolitical and technical challenges of nuclear energy and driving towards real energy independence. It's quite the background, man. Quite the background. So a couple things we just got to knock out real quick.
One is everybody gets a gift.
Thank you.
