You don't want to pay to desalinate just to grow water.

Well, I'm very hopeful that between expanding wind and solar and getting both types of nuclear, nuclear fission and fusion, to get safer and cheaper, that even with all this demand for energy, like electric cars or electric heat pumps, AI data centers, that we'll be able to get ahead of that and still have cheap electricity, even though we'll get rid of all of the terrible CO2 emissions.

So we are going to have to transition away from coal and natural gas in the decades ahead.

Not if we innovate the cost of these other things down. Electric cars are getting cheaper. Eventually, you do get to the point where the substitute is as cheap as the dirty thing was. And in the long run, that's what we need to do so that we get global adoption of green approaches.

You know, absolutely. And we measure that. You know, anybody who buys an electric car as you say, it's not zero emissions, but it is dramatically less than a gasoline car. And we're learning to make the batteries using less energy and less environmental things like new ways of finding lithium. And so the accounting on, okay, how do we have the most environmentally clean car

We're doing a very good job tracking that. And consumers who help create demand for electric vehicles, they deserve a little bit a sense of virtue because the more we buy, the more the price goes down.

I do. In my 20s, I was monomaniacal in my work, but now, although I work 50 hours a week and travel a lot, I play a fair bit of tennis. I play a lot of pickleball. I love reading. I love TV shows that you guys have made. That's super fun.

I'm not doing much golf. I like tennis and pickleball because slightly better exercise.
