Elon Musk has this 100 gigawatt solar goal.
You ran that business on the energy side at Tesla for a long time.
You understand the reality of that number.
Please also feel like, you know, to jump in where Heron would fit in with that.
But what do you make of that goal?
Oh, I think it's fantastic.
I mean, globally, we saw over half a terawatt, 500 gigawatts of solar installed last year.
And that number isn't going to go down anytime soon.
Really, the electricity sector is at a pivotal moment.
You know,
Electricity has meant prosperity and growth for people all over the world for the past decades.
But now it's at this juncture, right?
We've got AI that needs way more power and electricity.
Abundant renewable electricity can be a path to an all sustainable, all electric energy economy.
And to do that, we need more renewable energy and we need more electricity.
It is 100 gigawatts in the United States, like achievable.
Oh, I mean, of course, you know, if you put your mind to something, no matter how difficult it is, you can accomplish it.
I can say that from two decades of experience scaling new technologies from nothing to, you know, millions of units.
Yeah, like I think it's possible.
And that would be an addressable market for Heron.
