And, ah, but it's like, so why do you say that?

Well, it's because if I draw the circle around the car, I have electricity and it doesn't emit anything.

Okay, but you plug that into a grid where you follow that wire back, there could be a coal power plant or a gas power plant at the end of that.

Oh, really?

I mean, so this isn't like carbon free?

Oh.

And it's not their fault.

It's just, you know, they don't.

Like the car isn't a source of energy.

The underlying source of energy was the combustion of the fuel back somewhere.

and the physics or the science of it too, is the energy use that it takes to do that digging up, which is also important and all that.

Yeah.

Anyway, so... Yeah.

We wandered away from fusion, but yes.

But it's very important actually in the context of this, just because...

Those of us who work in fusion and these other kinds of sort of disruptive energy technologies, it's interesting.

I do think about what is it going to mean to society to have an energy source that is like this, that would be like fusion, which has such completely different characteristics.

For example, you know, free unlimited access to the fuel, but it has technology implications.

So what does this mean geopolitically?

What does it mean for how we distribute wealth within our society?
