ELCO wouldn't, but a levelized full cycle or full system cost of energy, adding adding letters to the acronym does.
And then nuclear starts to shine because it it is just, it's built to be baseload.
So I I sort of dismiss these all or none hypotheses.
Because the world we live in, you can barely we we don't have a single type of telephone.
We don't have a single type of carbonated beverage.
We don't have a single beer in the market, et cetera.
And so you kind of go down, and there's no obvious reason why a modern economy needs one form of electricity.
So it's it's going to be a big balance.
And the way to solve for intermittency, there's kind of three ways to do it.
You know, one is nuclear, create energy that's baseload on all the time.
The other is batteries, where I can sort of offset the intermittency.
And the third is sophisticated grids.
Right.
If my grid is big enough, right, if I've got a cross European grid and it's windy in Norway, but I need my AC in Spain, the grid can solve it.
And so there's this sort of competition between investing in the grid, which we're not doing enough of globally, investing in the U.S. So
So
Uh so we expect that if it grows, it it's gonna be less than 10%, right?
It's gonna be it's not gonna be a dominant form of energy simply because we would have to build so many reactors so quickly.
And so generally, the way we get at our long-term view of what electricity demand from uranium is, yeah, is you can take an IEA net zero pathway, or you can take the sustainable pathway, and it gets
you something like GDP-ish growth.
