## Quote — verbatim

> Considering the energy need, particularly concentrated energy need for training, is doubling every two years, the expectation by 2030 the only way to train the state-of-the-art model is with a gigawatt supply. So nuclear will be the only way to do so. Unfortunately, the last nuclear reactor we built in America took about 14 years.
