And so you can just find, like, some power station in, like, Wyoming that still has the username and password's username and password.

You log in and you can shut down the entire power in the entire region.

So the, like...

So our grid, just because of how antiquated it is, how decentralized it is, all of that, is hyper, hyper susceptible to cyber attacks, hyper susceptible to foreign action, foreign activity.

And that matters now.

Like, right now, if you take the energy grid in a major city, people will die.

So it's like, it's bad now.

But then let's go back to what we were just talking about with AI.

Like, let's say we have large-scale AI on AI warfare with China.

They just take out the power grid, take out our data centers and the power fueling those data centers, and then we're sitting ducks.

how we combat that.

I mean, just like the... Where did that happen elsewhere?

Look at Salt Typhoon.

This was a recent hack that was declassified, which is that...

Chinese malware and cyber activity basically had fully infiltrated our major telecom providers.

I think AT&T was entirely compromised by this hack called Salt Typhoon from the CCP.

And they did that so that they could read all the messages, like all the SMS, all the audio, they were able to capture as part of that, as part of an Intel gathering operation.

But if they're able to hack into our telco, they've sure as hell, they're clearly capable of hacking into our energy grid, clearly capable of hacking to any of our other critical infrastructure.

And it just goes back to what we're talking about, like the energy grid,

A, if we can't produce enough power, we're hosed.
