So the short answer to your question is like, yes, you certainly could bury the lines and that would solve some of the vulnerability problem.

And my argument to that would be like, let's try that.

Let's try that in a microgrid.

And let's try another grid over here that has above ground infrastructure.

And we're going to learn a lot of lessons.

And maybe we'll find out that the buried infrastructure had a different vulnerability than the above ground did.

But if this one goes down, this one didn't.

And we learn and evolve through time.

And that's really how technology works.

All of technology is something that learns and evolves through time.

It's not static.

I think this is one thing that people miss about technology is that it's constantly changing.

And the danger of regulation, and I think one of the tasks that the next 10 to 15 years of American law and policy is going to have to figure out is to figure out how to allow technology to evolve in that way and how to try to decentralize a lot of the policy that we've put in place.

Because, frankly, we're getting outbuilt.

We're getting outbuilt all over the world.

China is building not just nuclear reactors better than us, but now they're building cars better than us.

We didn't expect that to happen.

In all these cases, I would say that we're not properly allowing entrepreneurs to build the right technology, and we're centralizing it too much.

Okay, yep.

And do you know anything about helium-3?
