the maximum power for infrastructure in society, that the data centers would get less.

But that's in a very rare instance anyways.

And during that time, we either have a backup generator for that little part of it, or we just have our computers shift the workload somewhere else, or we have the computers just run slower.

You know, we could degrade our performance, reduce our power consumption, and provide for, you know, slightly longer latency response, you know, when somebody asks for, you know, asks for an answer.

And so I think that that way of using computers, of building data centers, instead of

expecting 100% uptime, and these contracts that are really, really quite rigorous, it's putting a lot of pressure on the grid to be able to... Now they're going to have to increase from their maximum.

I just want to use their excess.

It's just sitting there.

I think it's a three-way problem.

It starts with the end customer.

The end customer puts requirements on the data centers that they can never not be available.

Okay, so that the end customer expects perfection.

Now, in order to deliver that perfection, you need a combination of backup generators and your grid power supplier to deliver on perfection.

And so everybody's got to have six nines.

Well, I think first of all, right now, we ought to have everybody understand that when the customer asks for these things, you have somebody in your data center operations team disconnected from the CEO.

I bet the CEO doesn't know this.

I'm going to talk to all the CEOs.

Their CEOs are probably not paying any attention to the contracts that are being signed.

And so everybody wants to sign the best contract, of course.

And they go down to the cloud service providers and the contract, the two contract negotiators that are, I could just see them now, you know, negotiating these multi-year contracts.
