  1. To process uranium that is in its natural form. So it doesn't have to go through any further processes, which in recent times has become accomplishment because fuels have been kind of disrupted by geopolitical events in Russia as the rest of the Western world is now looking to fill in that gap by aggressively reinvigorating their fuel lines. Yeah. And then sometime around the 70s is when they just slowed down and then into the 90s, there was less and less nuclear reactors being built. And then the last two that were built in America were the ones that were just finished in Bogol, Canada, built their last reactors in the 90s. There were plans to build more in the 2000s, but those never came through. Most of the world has seen nuclear power kind of steadily holding on to its role and providing power where it exists and slowly to bring off as more competition has been entering markets. And there's a lot of reasons why it's happening so quick.

  2. Weapons and then peaceful nuclear power shortly afterwards. But to release that energy, it just requires an unstable element like uranium put into a condition where when it's bombarded with neutrons, it becomes even more unstable and it breaks apart, releases lots of energy, creates a chain reaction, which releases more neutrons to then interact with more uranium. And then the last reaction is sustained at a one-torn ratio by various means like to absorb those neutrons so that they can keep it under control and then they basically, it's just a very fancy way of heating water that is then transferred to steam, which turns to germini generates electricity. So in the early 50s, the industry learned that they could scale the technology up very quickly. They learned how to do it bigly. And then in Canada as well, we also learned how to do it. They were having to merge the uranium. We can meet the reaction.

  3. Yeah, nuclear power is definitely getting a lot of attention when it comes to grid reliability and energy sovereignty. That's been made very clear in recent years with recent vertical events. All eyes are on nuclear. A lot of people want to know a lot about it. I myself have personally not an expert myself. I just listen to our podcast and I have access to experts that can fill me in on a lot of this information. So I've gone down these rabbit holes quite significantly, just like many of us Bitcoiners have gone down the whole money rabbit hole. So it's another industry to explore and it's been an interesting development coming into these last two years. But to go back to the beginning, it was just Einstein theorized that the DE equals MC squared equation and then 40 years later they discovered that you could harness the energy that's released when an atom fissions and we started to harness the that capability to generate energy for

  4. I know exactly who that was. That was Cameron. Okay, all right. He's very excitable. And yeah, we met through just randomly Bitcoin randomly talking on Twitter and then found out we actually kind of both lived on in Ontario and our employers kind of have a work relationship together. So it was okay. Interesting. So yeah, we picked kind of a roundabout way through Bitcoin.

  5. Thanks for having me. It's an honor to be here, Preston. These are my two favorite topics to talk about nuclear power and Bitcoin mining. So I'm very excited to get into it with you.
