It's magic to see.
They built the world's biggest production vessel.
They built a boat that can lift 30,000 tons at a time.
So instead of decommissioning an oil platform at sea, which they used to take apart piece by piece, they built a boat that allows you to cut the legs off, lift it, bring it back to shore, and then do all of that deassembling there.
Much safer and much faster.
Takes risk out of it and danger out of it for everyone.
So they bring all of that expertise to help us on the offshore.
And the same is the case with the onshore.
We've been working with a group in Japan called Pacific Metals, but more recently, we took this big investment from Careers Inc.
And Careers Inc.,
want to come to America.
They want to put infrastructure on the ground.
They also are the world's biggest antimony producer and a very large gallium producer as well, which are two critical minerals needed here in the United States.
So they bring a lot of strategic
importance as well, but they can help us build much much faster and You know the Trump administration are very committed to taking away the permitting challenges and I think For construction and approval and I think that's where the red tape has really slowed things down So, you know, there's been desire but there's been so many people who need to stamp the page and I think there are tremendous efficiency Palantir, of course have
really helped perfect that as well.
We were talking to those guys about how they could help us streamline that whole permitting process.
They've been very successful in other industries and they can help us in our industry.
Much quicker than we could do it by ourselves.
