And you can draw an upward line of prosperity and energy that's pretty much aligned.

The more energy a society consumes, the higher its quality of life.

Okay.

And replacing what we... Modern life has become really convenient.

So you don't even really see the power plant.

You just plug your phone in.

has become so convenient, you don't really understand how we get water.

You just turn the faucet on.

You just order, you know, stuff from Amazon.

You just assume that, you know, steel is coming from somewhere to build your buildings.
