Well, all of the United States currently uses only half a terawatt of power on average.

So if you say a terawatt, that would be twice as much electricity as the United States currently consumes.

So that's quite a lot.

And can you imagine building that many data centers, that many power plants?

It's like those who have lived in software land don't realize they're about to have a hard lesson in hardware that

It's actually very difficult to build power plants.

And you don't just need power plants, you need all of the electrical equipment, you need the electrical transformers to run the transformers, the AI transformers.

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?
