The Keystone Pipeline is a pipe about this wide.
It's standard steel, right?
About that thick.
And you can calculate how much energy does that thing push.
And you can, this is gonna be a chemical energy figure, not electrical, but it's basically the same thing.
It's just energy.
The Keystone Pipeline moves about 50 gigawatts of continuous power.
So about two, three gorgeous dams.
We can call it a six gorgeous dam if you want.
Two to three times the three gorgeous dam worth of power in a pipeline that's this big.
So hydrocarbons are civilizational level technology.
They are required to move energy between nations to power high energy density formats to get to Mars, right?
If we want to go to Mars, we're doing that with hydrocarbons, right?
Starship is powered by methane, right?
Which is a hydrocarbon.
So there's all of these use cases, which I think are very underappreciated.
And we'll continue to use hydrocarbons for a very long time.
Yeah, no, that's absolutely right.
The freeze in Texas was very related to gas.
Yeah, absolutely.
