## Quote — verbatim

> China is the only country that solved their energy problem, because they overbuilt for the last decade and they actually have a terawatt installed capacity — that's four times more than the US... They can build a nuclear reactor in 3 years... unless you're in China, you cannot scale AI. So that's a big challenge for America, national security. China is going to out-accelerate us because they have the energy. So people will start talking about this in 2 years, and you heard here first.
