So if we follow the progress you see in chip war and I love it as an analogy of like we knew what the next couple of breakthroughs were in chips, you know, from the point when people were drawing on circuit boards with felt tip pens basically and acid etching them to the point where they were projecting onto them with essentially photo negatives to the point where photoiththography became very very small to the point where we now are individually placing atoms and not using etching in all cases. Like each o ...

Your next guest says the gains are likely not done. She just initiated coverage on Aqua with a buy rating. Let's welcome in Dimple Goai, clean energy analyst at Bank of America.The aforementioned Dimple Goai. It's good to have you on the program. Thank you for having me, Brian.The only problem with small module reactors is that currently there are no small modular reactors. This is still kind of a hope and a dream. They hope to roll this out in 2027 at Los Alamos.Is it going to work. Look, that's almost lik ...
