to get some distance or it's just too confusing for branding. So I've decided to change my name from Scott Adams, which is just confusing with Scott Galloway, so I've changed my first name to Not and my last name to Galloway. So now it'll be Not Galloway, and I will just go as Not Galloway from now on. Keeps it simpler. If there are two Scotts you're never going to tell us apart, but if there's a Scott and a Not, easier. So that's for you. You're welcome.

All right. MIT made an astonishing discovery. They say that light can vaporize water without heat. That's weird. So apparently they found that if you shine the light at a 45-degree angle and you do just the right things and you sacrifice a toad to the moon or whatever they do in science — I'm not really much of a scientist, I think they sacrifice toads but I don't know — but anyway they can vaporize water without creating heat.

Now you might say to yourself, Scott, that is the least important nerdiest thing you've ever said in your entire life. Why does this have any meaning to me whatsoever? Well, some people are saying it might be good for desalinization. Wouldn't that be amazing if you could just shine a light on some water and it would desalinate salt water? So that's actually something that might be happening. And if you could imagine that if you didn't need heat and all you needed was light, imagine how efficient that would be to desalinate. And just hold in your mind the possibility that you could take desalinization costs down to a fraction of what they are. That kind of changes everything, doesn't it? You'd have unlimited clean water for almost no cost. You just shine light on it at just the right angle and desalinate it. So it could be a gigantic thing from a nerdy little thing. You never know.

They say it might also have some clean energy application. We'll see.

The head of Bechtel is talking about how nuclear is becoming a thing, nuclear everywhere. So I like to report on this trend because it's probably maybe one of the most or the most important thing, whether we have enough electricity. And apparently there's 30 countries that are considering or planning nuclear programs, 20 more that have signaled interest. A bunch of new power plants are going up and a bunch more in the plans. So it's going to be a lot more nuclear.

Isn't it funny that we think we're this reasonable? We're a bunch of reasonable creatures, human beings, and we look at the cost of things and we look at the perceived benefits and we compare them logically and we come up with our plans. Did that happen with nuclear energy? So nuclear energy went from the scariest thing in the world, so therefore you've got to close them all down and you can't do it, right? So it was just a fear decision. Now the fear was not based on apparently good information because people were afraid of the waste. Turns out you could just store it on site, put it in a barrel. It's not really a big problem. And people were afraid it's going to melt down, but it turns out that the modern nuclear designs have never melted down. There's never been a
