Now, the utility industry is a very slow industry.

they pretty much, you know, they impede and smash to the government, to the public utility commission.

So they're, they impede and smash like literally and figuratively.

So they're very slow because their past has been very slow.

So trying to get them to move fast is just like, you know, like if you're trying to do an interconnect agreement with, have you ever tried to do an interconnect agreement with a utility at scale, like with a lot of power?

As a professional podcaster, I can say that I'm not, in fact.

They have to just need many more views before that becomes an issue.

They have to do a study for a year, OK?

Like, a year later, they'll come back to you with their interconnect study.

You can build power plants.

That's what we did at XAI for Classes 2.

So for Classes 2... So yeah, why are we talking about the grid?

Right, but it begs the question of where do you get the power plants from?

The power plant makers.

Oh, I see what you're saying.

Yes.

You can drill down to a level further.

It's the vanes and blades in the turbines that are the limiting factor, because the casting, it's like a very specialized process to cast the blades and vanes in the turbines, if you're using gas power.

It's very difficult to scale other forms of power.

You can scale potentially solar, but the tariffs currently for importing solar in the US are gigantic, and the domestic solar production is pitiful.
