So tell us about how did you come up with X-Energy? When did you start X-Energy? 2017,

I was at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

And then I learned that 53 gigawatts of deployment was going to happen.

So the density was going out through a roof.

I called a lot of people that I knew in the past from the engineering and manufacturing community.
1:58
I told them if they want to put their skates on one more time to make an impact.
