RUSH TRANSCRIPT President Trump ░░░░░░░░ Americans in his inaugural ░░░░░░░░ just three weeks ago ░░░░░░░░ Tennessee is not immune ░░░░░░░░ this So Tennessee s ░░░░░░░░ to lead in nuclear ░░░░░░░░ Is much bigger than ░░░░░░░░ competing with other states ░░░░░░░░ is about securing the ░░░░░░░░ of America governor billy ░░░░░░░░ about nuclear energy and ░░░░░░░░ be in studio if ░░░░░░░░ re watching online Julia ░░░░░░░░ is here chief development ░░░░░░░░ at the nuclear company ░░░░░░░░ of the us women ░░░░░░░░ nuclear Julia Welcome Thank ░░░░░░░░ for having made you ░░░░░░░░ America s finally ready ░░░░░░░░ embrace nuclear again Absolutely ░░░░░░░░ is our time to ░░░░░░░░ We need to start ░░░░░░░░ more nuclear now and ░░░░░░░░ securing our energy future ░░░░░░░░ the country burns clean ░░░░░░░░ freaked out about it ░░░░░░░░ they think nuclear bomb ░░░░░░░░ think three mile island ░░░░░░░░ I see the yeah ░░░░░░░░ parents the baby boomer ░░░░░░░░ deathly has that biased ░░░░░░░░ this next wave generation ░░░░░░░░ really becoming more informed ░░░░░░░░ nuclear is used for ░░░░░░░░ a beautiful like energy ░░░░░░░░ in it it s ░░░░░░░░ us to have this ░░░░░░░░ That s a country ░░░░░░░░ are doing it You ░░░░░░░░ yeah yeah they re ░░░░░░░░ building far more than ░░░░░░░░ they re building roughly ░░░░░░░░ seven reactors right now ░░░░░░░░ technically is building zero ░░░░░░░░ that s a demonstration ░░░░░░░░ but no real large ░░░░░░░░ being deliberately do is ░░░░░░░░ say Tennessee Georgia choose ░░░░░░░░ was the one that ░░░░░░░░ came online that was ░░░░░░░░ southern company built those ░░░░░░░░ a few partners westinghouse ░░░░░░░░ one of them that ░░░░░░░░ was the last year ░░░░░░░░ actually built never 30 ░░░░░░░░ that muscle memory as ░░░░░░░░ goes into the treasure ░░░░░░░░ who joined us about ░░░░░░░░ he sees a future ░░░░░░░░ it comes to nuclear ░░░░░░░░ bird home secretary right ░░░░░░░░ strong members of the ░░░░░░░░ or flower and President ░░░░░░░░ s priority for drilling ░░░░░░░░ U us energy are ░░░░░░░░ oil natural gas we ░░░░░░░░ going big a new ░░░░░░░░ and there where you ░░░░░░░░ going to it s ░░░░░░░░ to bring down costs ░░░░░░░░ we re also going ░░░░░░░░ become major exporters of ░░░░░░░░ or Which will make ░░░░░░░░ world more secure of ░░░░░░░░ reached out to a ░░░░░░░░ like yours We talked ░░░░░░░░ a number of elected ░░░░░░░░ appointed officials absolutely where ░░░░░░░░ it at right now ░░░░░░░░ it seems to be ░░░░░░░░ thirst for it there ░░░░░░░░ and actually we actually ░░░░░░░░ This whole thing called ░░░░░░░░ program office that is ░░░░░░░░ in nuclear right now ░░░░░░░░ re are also part ░░░░░░░░ the vocal project and ░░░░░░░░ a lot of companies ░░░░░░░░ ours are looking at ░░░░░░░░ s the lowest cost ░░░░░░░░ capital that exists today ░░░░░░░░ who s going to ░░░░░░░░ money into nuclear right ░░░░░░░░ the government can do ░░░░░░░░ There s also tax ░░░░░░░░ that are enabling us ░░░░░░░░ investment tax credits production ░░░░░░░░ credits to make this ░░░░░░░░ out and that s ░░░░░░░░ I m here in ░░░░░░░░ York as well garnering ░░░░░░░░ from private equity s ░░░░░░░░ understand what kind of ░░░░░░░░ to you need a ░░░░░░░░ type of Guarantees teenage ░░░░░░░░ you make julian has ░░░░░░░░ great progress they say ░░░░░░░░ s more than ever ░░░░░░░░ I mean there s ░░░░░░░░ companies that are looking ░░░░░░░░ large small and micro ░░░░░░░░ would say our country ░░░░░░░░ appetite is insatiable We ░░░░░░░░ to hundred gigawatts that ░░░░░░░░ a lot of small ░░░░░░░░ reactors I think that ░░░░░░░░ do both large and ░░░░░░░░ I love the micro ░░░░░░░░ but I think that ░░░░░░░░ something A plan certain ░░░░░░░░ like small military installations ░░░░░░░░ maybe replacing diesel generators ░░░░░░░░ the oil and gas ░░░░░░░░ This What I heard ░░░░░░░░ negative You do have ░░░░░░░░ provide security because it ░░░░░░░░ be used as a ░░░░░░░░ right Yeah you have ░░░░░░░░ have nuclear safeguards in ░░░░░░░░ us is the best ░░░░░░░░ that we set We ░░░░░░░░ set global industry standards ░░░░░░░░ nuclear that s why ░░░░░░░░ have to keep building ░░░░░░░░ what are you have ░░░░░░░░ do Change perception you ░░░░░░░░ this new generation is ░░░░░░░░ as crazed about nuclear ░░░░░░░░ and we saw that ░░░░░░░░ took everything down and ░░░░░░░░ they re looking to ░░░░░░░░ it back up I ░░░░░░░░ I mean they re ░░░░░░░░ hitting themselves in the ░░░░░░░░ right now I d ░░░░░░░░ shows like this The ░░░░░░░░ that you re interested ░░░░░░░░ this topic and reaching ░░░░░░░░ audience is the first ░░░░░░░░ we ve got like ░░░░░░░░ our audience You can ░░░░░░░░ just talk to ourselves ░░░░░░░░ the industry and we ░░░░░░░░ doing that for decades ░░░░░░░░ we got to reach ░░░░░░░░ broader audience is like ░░░░░░░░ is cost prohibitive No ░░░░░░░░ not me It s ░░░░░░░░ intensive The any infrastructure ░░░░░░░░ If you look at ░░░░░░░░ long duration of the ░░░░░░░░ life of these plants ░░░░░░░░ sixty eight years it ░░░░░░░░ extremely extremely loud So ░░░░░░░░ you have these blue ░░░░░░░░ who decide I m ░░░░░░░░ to have nuclear I ░░░░░░░░ really up to the ░░░░░░░░ disaster Ami Oh well ░░░░░░░░ re They had nuclear ░░░░░░░░ issues because who was ░░░░░░░░ by a huge by ░░░░░░░░ ocean and they a ░░░░░░░░ to take that down ░░░░░░░░ New York They took ░░░░░░░░ Indian point I now ░░░░░░░░ our utility bills it ░░░░░░░░ the roof China I ░░░░░░░░ if if you if ░░░░░░░░ build more nuclear your ░░░░░░░░ of potts cost per ░░░░░░░░ hour goes down drastically ░░░░░░░░ should not be shutting ░░░░░░░░ any more plants We ░░░░░░░░ to preserve our 90 ░░░░░░░░ reactors today in turn ░░░░░░░░ that have been shut ░░░░░░░░ at back online Sadly ░░░░░░░░ can t do that ░░░░░░░░ at a New York ░░░░░░░░ any point but no ░░░░░░░░ shutting down nuclear plants ░░░░░░░░ what is a priority ░░░░░░░░ like that cause surviving ░░░░░░░░ municipality of the city ░░░░░░░░ if I say okay ░░░░░░░░ want to be pub ░░░░░░░░ by nuclear What am ░░░░░░░░ looking spent around the ░░░░░░░░ investment of analogy terminal ░░░░░░░░ you re looking at ░░░░░░░░ anywhere Five to 10 ░░░░░░░░ dollars depending on how ░░░░░░░░ you want to produce ░░░░░░░░ of in one thousand ░░░░░░░░ versus three hundred megawatts ░░░░░░░░ kind of the ebbs ░░░░░░░░ flows So it s ░░░░░░░░ long term Investment you ░░░░░░░░ take about five seven ░░░░░░░░ years to belt China ░░░░░░░░ doing it right now ░░░░░░░░ large reactors technology that ░░░░░░░░ actually got from us ░░░░░░░░ five years for five ░░░░░░░░ dollars per reactor and ░░░░░░░░ see the of exciting ░░░░░░░░ year deals with countries ░░░░░░░░ they are literally forging ░░░░░░░░ path that we could ░░░░░░░░ doing right now and ░░░░░░░░ should be continuing to ░░░░░░░░ where they are bringing ░░░░░░░░ technology to Kazakhstan I ░░░░░░░░ South Africa and they ░░░░░░░░ saying I will sell ░░░░░░░░ reactor and I will ░░░░░░░░ help you operate It ░░░░░░░░ I will also take ░░░░░░░░ spent fuel and help ░░░░░░░░ at the us has ░░░░░░░░ to start thinking about ░░░░░░░░ that we export of ░░░░░░░░ guys thought a market ░░░░░░░░ a marketing campaign Oh ░░░░░░░░ we actually did a ░░░░░░░░ bus tour last July ░░░░░░░░ nuclear company which is ░░░░░░░░ traditional for nuclear I ░░░░░░░░ tell you when across ░░░░░░░░ states landed in D ░░░░░░░░ and just started telling ░░░░░░░░ hey there s this ░░░░░░░░ resurgence coming on What ░░░░░░░░ you wanna talk Would ░░░░░░░░ want here like order ░░░░░░░░ some of the biases ░░░░░░░░ have some misconceptions That ░░░░░░░░ have that we can ░░░░░░░░ demystify love is pretty ░░░░░░░░ refused berg whom the ░░░░░░░░ the interior we cannot ░░░░░░░░ defended were buying uranium ░░░░░░░░ Russia for our nuclear ░░░░░░░░ We we have to ░░░░░░░░ able their of those ░░░░░░░░ chains be right here ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ all about and when ░░░░░░░░ do all of that ░░░░░░░░ re going to be ░░░░░░░░ to build baby build ░░░░░░░░ that three point I ░░░░░░░░ absolutely we have to ░░░░░░░░ fresh I we ve ░░░░░░░░ buying enriched uranium for ░░░░░░░░ from decades and we ░░░░░░░░ started to come off ░░░░░░░░ that whoever own we ░░░░░░░░ some enrichment but we ░░░░░░░░ to increase production substantially ░░░░░░░░ don t have enough ░░░░░░░░ maintain are operating fleet ░░░░░░░░ is why you see ░░░░░░░░ lot of investment going ░░░░░░░░ the whole fuel cycle ░░░░░░░░ is where is the ░░░░░░░░ Uranium is all over ░░░░░░░░ mean it s a ░░░░░░░░ earth metal by the ░░░░░░░░ it is heard on ░░░░░░░░ show just a couple ░░░░░░░░ ago on this mineral ░░░░░░░░ are trying to do ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine They have mineral ░░░░░░░░ right below their feet ░░░░░░░░ need access those we ░░░░░░░░ from Canada Australia all ░░░░░░░░ I mean it s ░░░░░░░░ rare earth metal that ░░░░░░░░ currently being used for ░░░░░░░░ power I had to ░░░░░░░░ this to Canada has ░░░░░░░░ they have uranium deposits ░░░░░░░░ don t use enriched ░░░░░░░░ for their reactors today ░░░░░░░░ the United States Our ░░░░░░░░ requires enriched uranium It ░░░░░░░░ much more efficient and ░░░░░░░░ when people so I ░░░░░░░░ want a bomb in ░░░░░░░░ backyard potential Bob Would ░░░░░░░░ say to them buzzards ░░░░░░░░ not a bomb It ░░░░░░░░ a beautiful generation sources ░░░░░░░░ if you re powering ░░░░░░░░ iphone or your samsung ░░░░░░░░ every single night is ░░░░░░░░ from a source that ░░░░░░░░ providing power 20 four ░░░░░░░░ and that is a ░░░░░░░░ power plant I mean ░░░░░░░░ other energy source can ░░░░░░░░ it deftly not solar ░░░░░░░░ wind they re Apparently ░░░░░░░░ percent of the time ░░░░░░░░ That was your final ░░░░░░░░ final thought to anybody ░░░░░░░░ right now who s ░░░░░░░░ about it I m ░░░░░░░░ by it but also ░░░░░░░░ a lot of wealthy ░░░░░░░░ said this mid The ░░░░░░░░ micro devices mother was ░░░░░░░░ have them grown because ░░░░░░░░ s so powerful but ░░░░░░░░ it s not as ░░░░░░░░ yeah I would say ░░░░░░░░ nuclear large and small ░░░░░░░░ micro are so essential ░░░░░░░░ a safer stronger America ░░░░░░░░ jobs are plenty their ░░░░░░░░ paying and it s ░░░░░░░░ allow us to pull ░░░░░░░░ a strategic level that ░░░░░░░░ have not put on ░░░░░░░░ the past couple of ░░░░░░░░ you re a mission ░░░░░░░░ get to the administration ░░░░░░░░ do you have contacts ░░░░░░░░ making inroads in because ░░░░░░░░ received two members demonstration ░░░░░░░░ talking nuclear yeah I ░░░░░░░░ Take us happened to ░░░░░░░░ network Would you would ░░░░░░░░ oh yeah absolutely going ░░░░░░░░ take of I signed ░░░░░░░░ deal for Nashville Tennessee ░░░░░░░░ long would it take ░░░░░░░░ I have my nuclear ░░░░░░░░ plant oman if if ░░░░░░░░ cut these regulatory bureaucratic ░░░░░░░░ and I could just ░░░░░░░░ I mean it could ░░░░░░░░ anywhere from seven to ░░░░░░░░ years right now but ░░░░░░░░ could get it down ░░░░░░░░ five If I have ░░░░░░░░ order book to show ░░░░░░░░ and we are you ░░░░░░░░ about China beating us ░░░░░░░░ fusion reactors I m ░░░░░░░░ about China leading us ░░░░░░░░ a lotta things and ░░░░░░░░ think we need to ░░░░░░░░ at they strategically Fusion ░░░░░░░░ think is gonna be ░░░░░░░░ generation investment I think ░░░░░░░░ think it s coming ░░░░░░░░ we need to build ░░░░░░░░ We can t wait ░░░░░░░░ fusion technology to become ░░░░░░░░ reality by judah Do ░░░░░░░░ now or are they ░░░░░░░░ much julian is great ░░░░░░░░ have you join Edwards ░░░░░░░░ development officer of the ░░░░░░░░ company chairman of the ░░░░░░░░ s Women a nuclear ░░░░░░░░ innovation much yeah think ░░░░░░░░ ll break ya me ░░░░░░░░ Giving you everything you ░░░░░░░░ to know your with ░░░░░░░░ kill made.
