Julia DeWahl is the cofounder of Antares, a company developing nuclear microreactors for the US military and critical infrastructure. On Cheeky Pint, Julia and John Collison discuss: — Her vision for the "Starlink of electricity" — Why AI hyperscalers are driving a nuclear renaissance — The bipartisan shift in nuclear regulation — Why true energy resilience requires more than just solar and batteries — Lessons from the early days of Opendoor and Starlink YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gtNv5vkX Spotify: https://lnkd.in/guv_Tvh2 Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/g_JjUpni Full transcript on Substack: https://lnkd.in/gW2eTRat
The “Starlink of electricity” idea is bold, but the timing feels right — AI energy demand is forcing the world to rethink what resilient power actually looks like beyond solar and batteries.
Big conversation here. When nuclear microreactors meet AI demand, the future of energy changes fast. The real task now is finding the people bold enough to build it.
Nice Julia DeWahl!
