Uranium packs vastly more energy per pound than oil, coal, or wood, and solar and wind don't come close. Each energy source in history has been denser than the last, and uranium continues that pattern. Nuclear is the logical next step.

Talk us through uranium. You first brought this up and I was like, are you predicting nuclear war? Are you predicting— No, no. Like, why uranium? Okay, so every time humanity has discovered a new form of energy, it has been one that is much more energy dense than the last. So you have to burn a lot of wood to get the same energy that you get from coal. You have to use a lot of coal to get the same energy that you can get from oil. You have to use a lot of oil to get the same energy that you can get from a pound of uranium. Solar and wind do not fit in that progression. They're much, much, much less energy dense. Uranium is insane in terms of just like nuclear power plants, how much energy you can get over the long term.
