Description

For 50 years, nuclear power has meant billion-dollar cost overruns and decade-long delays. That's about to change. Valar Atomics founder Isaiah Taylor joins us to reveal how his company is rebooting the entire industry by manufacturing small, safe reactors like SpaceX builds rockets. We dive deep into the new executive order that gives him until July 4th to turn on America's first new reactor, why his design can't melt down, and his vision for a future where cheap nuclear energy makes everything from food to fuel abundant.
