## Quote — verbatim

> The challenge in solar is storage and transmission... our grid is not designed to be peer-to-peer — it's designed to be hubbed. That means you generate energy in one place and you distribute the energy. It's never designed to generate energy at the edge and distribute back to the grid.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Discussion of nuclear vs solar; he's pro-nuclear ("Europe went anti-nuclear and it's one of the worst decisions they made," 14 years to build a US reactor) but notes nuclear fuel supply caps; energy-at-the-edge framing parallels his compute-at-the-edge thesis.
