We don't have that already?

Yeah,

Yeah, I think, though, you know, on the flip side of this, the last 40 years of efficiency gains we've gotten, which have been super important, it's allowed us to kind of look the other way about

the real bottleneck in energy generation on the grid, which is delivery.

And we're so bottlenecked today on the lines that run crisscross across the country.

I mean, it's this very complicated, giant organic machine.

We probably don't have to talk long about that.

Everyone's talked about that plenty.

But the grid is breaking.

You know, so when we think about it,

just from an investment perspective, the types of things that we're interested in.

It's like, how do we actually go about solving that really complicated transmission and delivery challenge with technology?

Yeah, I mean, this sort of AI moment in time, it's a really good forcing function.

I'm very grateful for AI for lots of reasons, but it's bringing to a head a lot of things that have sort of been brewing under the surface for a long time.

And it's kind of forcing us to remember how to build large scale infrastructure in the US again, and reminding us that actually energy is really important.

Electricity is really important.

Getting it to the place where it needs to be is really important.

So whether it's data center compute or, you know,

broad-based reindustrialization of sort of the industrial base of the U.S., whether it's defense use cases on the edge or more centrally, you know, all of these technologies that we're investing in at A16Z are kind of demanding access to power.

And it's not strictly access to power on the grid.
