There’s three versions of nuclear in the US right now:

1) Gundo Grindset

Yes the regs are bad, but also nuclear needs real innovation to win. You gotta be a cracked engineer. Believes they can move fast. Half the team used to work at SpaceX. Tweets about reindustrialization in downtime.

2) Elder Millennial / GenX who does Ted Talks

Almost became a thorium true believer back in 2005 but graduated to something more serious. Thinks a nuclear company will take a long time. Has raised billions and has lots of non-binding agreements with customers. Nothing close to built. Loves Vaclav Smil. Secretly getting tired of the mission and wants to chill on a homestead.

3) Just Build Nuclear

There’s no real innovation needed here. Modularity is fucking dumb. The AP1000 is basically perfect. The world would be hyper-prosperous if the Malthusian ecoleft didn’t ratfuck god’s greatest gift. The government just needs to make sure they get built. Erect the nuclear cathedrals by edict and restore this culture to its former glory.

@isaiah_p_taylor how are you sourcing your parts? Does it even make sense for you to machine everything in-house down the line?

@SecretaryWright Legalize it!

If you do something at the last minute, it only takes a minute..

@jbkrell how are you thinking about standardizing the nuclear procurement landscape at Alva?

[Ryan Horne @RyanHorne_7]

What is the safest, cheapest way to build 100 nuclear reactors in the US? How will any of this be facilitated in an open market?

[Ryan Horne @RyanHorne_7]

@2112Power what are your thoughts on expanding the @HadrianInc suite of products to the nuclear industry, to kickstart SMR production

[Ryan Horne @RyanHorne_7]

Will the Stargate program be a bigger investment than the highways? Is there a chance its positive impacts will be distributed equitably if they are?

[Ryan Horne @RyanHorne_7]

There is extrinsic value in exclusivity, and intrinsic value in inclusivity

[Ryan Horne @RyanHorne_7]

@davidu, in your big ideas about predicting the rise of nuclear power, do you see the power of public trust and software fueling this resurgence?
