when everybody is at that 400 person seaside resort and that state is, you know, hurting for electricity, I'd disappear from the grid.

So, so much of this is happening.

People don't see it.

Because the scale of what we're doing requires all of it.

There will.

And you can ask, can we stop this from happening?

And I'm not sure that we can.

I think money finds a way when it's trying to get to a goal.

So I think we will build quite a bit of additional generation.

Utilizing the grid we have right now is just a faster way to do it because it's already built.

So we are revitalizing old nuclear plants that were built 50 years ago.

We are putting in newer, more efficient forms of power generation, both solar and batteries, as well as newer generations of gas plants, which is...

not necessarily a popular thing, but is going to happen.

And there's all kinds of other really interesting things happening in the energy industry.

We are applying a set of pioneers that came from the oil and gas industry in fracking are using those techniques to reimagine geothermal power so that you don't have to go where

there are pockets of steam already in the earth.

You can go to a location and inject water, create steam, create the steam that spins the turbine, send that water back down in a closed loop.

And again, like more water efficient and, and the better you get at it, the more you do it, the lower your costs are.

There's a company called Fervo that is kind of the darling of new geothermal.

That's exactly right.
