And

Something that I had an experience with when I was growing up, I sailed from California to the South Pacific on a sailboat, which we largely were powering by solar.

And, you know, we would have times where we'd have a storm blow over for like four or five days of really cloudy and our batteries were completely depleted.

And, you know, we would have times where we'd have a storm blow over for like four or five days of really cloudy and our batteries were completely depleted.

It was really scary because all of our like an autopilot navigation systems, all of our charts, like, you know, everything we're running on our ship was depleted.

And you know, lucky for us, the storms passed, we've recharged our batteries and moved on.

But this has always kind of been something that's reminded me that while these are amazing, you know, options, we use solar panel for like a whole year on this ship, it's not always sustainable, you do need, I think, multiple facets, multiple types of energy to power this stuff.

I think for a lot of these kind of data centers, it's going to be the same thing.

I think for I think for a lot of these kind of data centers, it's going to be the same thing when a weather event happens.

When a weather event happens or there's a really prolonged, you know, cloudy period, you still need very consistent solid energy.

And so solar and wind can't keep up with that forever.

So I think this is why right now the current administration is putting a push to include some traditional baseload capacity.
