And I think that the president's been very consistent that it would be better to have one rule book, a single rule book at the federal level, lightweight federal standard.

I think this problem is only going to get more acute over time because, again, as you have 50 different states running in 50 different directions, the patchwork problem only gets more significant.

So in any event, this is something that we're going to work, I think, closely together on this year, which is to see if we can get enough consensus on a federal framework to enact a law.

Only Congress can ultimately cramp the states.

We understand that.

And, you know, as you know, it's very difficult to get a bill through Congress.

You need 60 votes in the Senate.

It has to be bipartisan to to a certain degree.

So but we're going to try and see if we can work to get that consensus.

Well, there's pushback in Congress to the idea of preemption without a federal standard.

So in other words, you can't replace something with nothing.

This is sort of the thing that we heard repeatedly.

But I think there is quite a bit of interest in both the House and the Senate towards having, again, some sort of lightweight federal standard.

But we're still in the early stages of those conversations, and we're going to see what we can try and get done this year.

Yeah.

I mean, we got a letter recently from Bernie Sanders saying, stop all data centers, all data center development.

And if we do that, we will lose the AI race.

I mean, you do need this infrastructure.

Other countries are building out this infrastructure.

China's building out.
