Unscramble the Blue Letters


So my name is taloyr Wilson. I am 17 years old and I am a nuclear psiyhcist, which may be a little hard to believe, but I am. And I would like to make the case that nuclear fusion will be that point, that the bridge that T. Boone Pickens talked about will get us to. So nuclear fsuoin is our energy future. And the second point, making the case that kids can really change the world.

So you may ask — (Applause) You may ask me, well how do you know what our energy futrue is? Well I built a fusion reactor when I was 14 years old. That is the inside of my nuclear fusion reactor. I started building this project when I was about 12 or 13 years old. I decided I wanted to make a star.
