## Quote — verbatim

> The last \[US nuclear reactor\] we built took about 14 years. Nuclear is great but we cannot build them fast enough... The SMRs, or small modular reactors, are still not market ready, and fusion is 10 years away. So we have the biggest nuclear reactor right above our roofs, right in the sky, called the sun. If we can leverage solar effectively we can solve a lot of problems — and the way we do that is homes.

Responding to nuclear-next-to-data-center announcements; he cites ~96 US reactors at ~93% utilization.
