As a kid obsessed with physics I dreamed of a nuclear future But since the 1980s the regulatory environment made this impossible Also, as America outsourced its industrial base to China, our demand for power was stagnant Now there's a double why now: the AI build out + reshoring of manufacturing has made America hungry for power again Also, nuclear has become a bipartistan issue and the regulatory framework is rapidly improving Enter @isaiah_p_taylor with @valaratomics He is applying the Elon playbook to nuclear Find an industry that America used to be good at, but lost its way on: rockets, tunneling, manufacturing cars And then go build a simple unit, you can deliver quickly, to get on the exponential ramp in terms of real world feedback + early revenue + technological progress Then claw your way back to the prior state of the art, before pushing far beyond our prior limits I believe Isaiah is a generational founder and this is a generational company @sequoia is ecstatic to partner with him and the Valar team (Especially when we get to do it with our friends at Valar, Conviction, Atreides, and the early investors here) And massive thank you to @PalmerLuckey for giving me a tip regarding how special this company is
