I think that was a mistake, by the way.
We shouldn't have done that.
We should have found ways to make the manufacturing process cheaper and to do more with less.
But this is a decision that we made.
When we bring it back, it's gonna be more automated, it's gonna be more advanced, and it's gonna use more power, right?
When you replace sort of hand labor with machines, you're essentially replacing it with energy.
And we need a lot of energy to do that.
And so I'm really excited about how we start to expand these power campuses to make more power and have a factory next door and power the factory to have metals electrolysis next door, right?
So to make magnesium and aluminum through electrolysis.
So I think these campuses sort of expand into industrials.
We can absolutely make power for the grid.
We can make power for communities around us.
And then the really, really big goal where Valor becomes, I would argue, the most valuable company on earth is when we begin to make liquid fuels.
We begin to make hydrogen, we bond it with CO2, and we can sell diesel, jet fuel, gasoline on the market at a better price than the oil and gas industry can.
And that makes our demand for our products practically infinite, right?
The nice thing about hydrocarbons is that they're a liquid commodity, right?
And there's $4 trillion of demand for them all around the world.
And we can make a lot of those.
I mean, it just seems like...
This is really one of the most critical capabilities that we could give the American military in the next 10 years is the ability to generate their own power on bases and to generate their own fuel.
