Valar Atomics

Valar Atomics, a nuclear energy startup founded by Isaiah Taylor, is taking a novel approach to nuclear power. Rather than fighting the limitations of the electrical grid, Valar has identified a fundamental mismatch between nuclear capabilities and electricity as a product. "Electricity is a terrible product," Taylor argues, because it can't be easily transported through space or time. It must be used immediately and requires fixed infrastructure to deliver. This realization led to Valar's core innovation: using nuclear reactors not to generate electricity, but to produce synthetic hydrocarbon fuels that plug directly into our existing energy infrastructure.
