Success means the US has a huge lead in AI when I walk out of here. It is transforming our society. Drug discovery is sped up. Energy production is more efficient. Everyone's productivity is up. Our economic growth rate is increased from what it was before. Fusion energy, we're down to engineering, figuring out how to build these machines for these different approaches to that. Quantum computing has become part of our ecosystem, and there's a broad-based belief that energy is the ultimate enabler of human lives and everything humans want to do. We got to all be in energy addition mode. We've got to understand when you think about energy, you really just have to think about two things. It's about human lives, what kind of energy is best going to improve human lives, and math. What energy source or technology or system has the best math, meaning the most affordable, to lift up human lives.
