Yeah.

Um, so it's interesting is that this, so this is one of the hard parts.

So this means that the individual units, you know, and it's, it, it varies from concept to concept, but the, the, the national academies report that came out last year sort of put the, the benchmark as being like, probably the minimum size looks like around 50 million Watts of electricity, which is like enough for like a meat, like a small to, you know, midsize city actually.

Um, so that is, uh, so that's sort of like a scale challenge.

And in fact, it's one of the reasons why in Commonwealth and in other private sector ones, like we, they try to push this down actually of trying to get to the, to these smaller units just cause it reduces the cost of it.

Um, then probably, um, obviously, I would say it's an obvious one, like achieving the fusion state itself and high gain is, is

is a hard one, what we already talked about.

Well, that's achieving the right temperature, density, and energy confinement time in the fuel itself, in the plasma itself.

And so some of the configurations which are being chosen are actually, have quite a ways to go, in fact, of seeing those.

But...

What their consideration is, oh, yes, but by our particular configuration, the engineering simplicity confers like an economic advantage even if we're behind in sort of a science sense, okay, which is fine.

This is also what you get when you get an explosion in the private sector.

You basically are distributing risks in different ways, right, which makes sense.

All of that good.

So what I would say is that the next hurdle to really overcome is about making net electricity.

So we need to see a unit or several units using fusion in some way to put a meaningful amount of energy on the grid.

Because this starts giving us real answers.

as to what this is going to look like.

The full end-to-end process.

The full end-to-end thing.
