I think one of the things that it could do for people is you have a DC battery.

We go DC to AC, right, to attach some large battery system.

And then maybe you have a solar grid, but that's on some different DC voltage, and that also needs to get converted AC to then put on a grid to use it.

But you could have little cells, like these things that we grow at the edge,

It could be like megawatt hour battery packs, a few megawatts of solar for during the day, and a reactor for at night.

And all those things actually merge and work perfectly on a DC grid, like a DC microgrid.

That's sort of what I think what it could do, right?

It's interesting for people to think about this.

I think it could be demonstrated at some military installation or some other place.

And so it's like a fun thing that Drew and I have chatted about a little bit, but we don't know when we'll be able to do it.

soon.

Let's get

That's right.
