Well, I mean, it helps if it's contiguous.
It doesn't need to be convex.
Um, so this is, you know, you can have a bit over here and a bit over there and you can wire them together relatively easily.
In fact, in the limit, in the limit, you have fields upon fields of solar arrays with... Tell me your dream case.
Okay.
Fields, just, just solar arrays as far as I can see.
And then within the solar arrays, roughly in the middle of them, you have your, your batteries and your...
I remember this.
Yeah, so you've got your batteries and you've got your data centers.
So in terms of ground floor area, it's roughly, let's say, 10% racks, 10% access to the racks, maybe like...
50% batteries stacked up on top of each other and that's just cooling.
Something like that in terms of what sits in the centralized node, right?
And that could be 100 megawatts or it could be 10 gigawatts, depending on how you want to scale this.
But then all you need to connect that to the outside world is like an optical fiber.
An optical fiber cable, which you can string up on poles.
You can run it underground.
You could even use microwave links if you really wanted to.
You could use Starlink if you really wanted to.
I don't know what the... Starlink would be fast enough.
I'm not sure if it's like capacity is high enough.
