Cameco CEO: Ontario is the greatest story in nuclear history. - Increased renewable share led to higher electricity costs - Ontario course-corrected and refurbished its nuclear reactors - Now it wants to build 14 GW of nuclear capacity - For comparison, the US wants to build 10 GW We have entered the age of nuclear.

Forward-deployed engineering explained via Nabeel S. Qureshi (who spent ~8 years at Palantir as an FDE) "The job of the forward-deployed engineers is not just to deploy software, it is not just to sell software, it is to actually solve the problem."

"We sell energy, not nuclear reactors." - Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors, founder of Valar Atomics "The best way to use a Falcon 9 at SpaceX is to own the entire operational cadence. You sell products like kgs to orbit and Internet connectivity." "Nuclear reactors are like this as well. You build reactors on large energy campuses, then sell energy to AI data centers which need hydrogen and synthetic fuels." "If we can make a synthetic fuel that's cheaper than diesel or gasoline, we can become the energy company of the world."

Nuclear power is back. After decades of stagnation, people are starting to wonder how we can build nuclear reactors as quickly and cheaply as we did in the 20th Century I sat down with Alex Chalmers and Ben Southwood to talk about why nuclear power can be so good, why it flopped, and how to get it back again. We discuss: • The astonishing energy density of uranium – 100g of it produces the same energy as 1.5 tons of coal – and why it matters • Why nearly every country in the world forgot how to do cheap nuclear at the same time • How the French state built 37 reactors in ten years • Why even solar power optimists should want a nuclear renaissance Plus: Why nuclear meltdowns aren't as scary as people think! Listen now. Links below! Spotify: Apple: Youtube:

NEW — $PLTR Head of Defense Mike Gallagher with The Nuclear Company CEO Jonathan Webb discussing the new partnership 🔮☢️ “Why does it take over a decade to build a nuclear reactor in this country? It’s not just regulation. What’s downstream of that? It’s all the paperwork it entails— soul crushing work. We can take all of that, put it in our software, automate what needs to be automated, liberating the workers building these, and dramatically collapse the timeline necessary to build reactors. That’s how we beat China. Via FOX Business

The trades can build anything... except the software they run on. That changes today. We've raised $9.2M to build Dalton Mills. Software has spent its whole history getting closer to the people who do the work. First, the system of record. Software you stored your business in. Then, the agentic era. Software that did the work for you. Now, the bespoke era. Agentic software you build yourself, without code. Each era closed the gap and this one closes it for good. Software can finally work around your business, instead of you bending your business to make it fit. You ran on software made for everyone… never for you. That's over. Welcome to Dalton Mills. Let the builders build!

.Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors is building planetary scale nuclear reactors at Valar Atomics. He dropped out of high school at 16, founded Valar at 24, raised $450M, and is building America's first nuclear gigasite. 🇺🇸 His advice for Discipulus Ventures hard tech founders: "Get to the hardware problems as soon as you can. You should be experiencing more hardware problems at a greater and greater pace over time."

Jensen Huang predicts within a decade, companies will build their own small nuclear reactors to power AI factories. HUANG: "In the next six, seven years, I think you're going to see a whole bunch of small nuclear reactors. We'll all be power generators. ... it takes the burden off the grid, you could build as much as you need, and you can contribute back to the grid."

This is the CEO of the ‘Smart Energy Council’ which represents Australia’s renewable industry. Here he defends their claim that 11GW of nuclear power could have costed $600bn. Unfortunately, once again, he gets basic facts wrong and misleads: 1️⃣ Every nuclear reactor that is built is not a “bespoke engineering experiment”. There are many different models of reactors that have been deployed around the world and when built in a fleet significant savings emerge. 2️⃣ Hinkley Point C is not a “single nuclear reactor site”. It has 2 reactors. This is the same lie that he also made to the nuclear parliamentary committee. 3️⃣ The Hinkley costing (which their estimate was based) on isn’t just the cost to build. It also factors in waste storage, decommissioning etc. 4️⃣ As I and others repeated many times their methodology wasn’t just to extrapolate the cost of the most expensive nuclear project ever but DOUBLE it. The result: even the CSIRO said nuclear costs at least 5x less. The SmartEnergyCouncil is a disinformation machine at best. The renewable industry deserves better representation.

Its time Indian youth and parents give up on Engineering Graduation especially in IT AI will do a better job at building software. And to use AI to build software you do not need to go to the process of getting a Engineering Degree.
