First, I think a lot of things can be produced domestically once you create sort of enough density that they can lower the costs.

And second, every time I fly out of Beijing, and if the flight turns north to the mountains, I always like to take a window seat to see an old wind turbines that have built inner Mongolia.

I I've seen lots of wind turbines in many places, even in the sea and stuff, but that scale of hundreds of turbines.

turbines across the mountains in a very windy area.

I think it showed some commitment because this investment takes a longer time and initially it definitely loses lots of money and it probably takes, I don't know, a decade or more to recoup some of the investment.

But I think when you have the ability to plan and execute for long term, you can achieve something.

I think still going back to the energy sector, we had a very large family reunion and because of my great uncle there are lots of family members in the petrol industry across the world.

Some of them are in North America, some of them are in the Middle East.

I have a cousin who has been living in Kuwait for like ten years.

As Valerie said, where lots of the energy of Vietnam is from.

I actually discussed with them about potential flashpoints of things and generally they are much calmer than I am in terms of the shock to the energy because they said, okay, there are lots of things which could be done.

But the thing is that when oil is cheap or when oil from a certain like major producing regions where extraction is cheap, so then there's no incentive for others to do other things.

But as oil price goes up, a lot of investment into the alternative sources would actually be accelerated.

I got that feeling when I was in Germany actually in February, and I actually visited one of the top engineering universities there and was discussing with the friends there, and they were saying that.

You see there's lots of talk about uh you know oxygen energy sources in Europe and uh Europe is uh regulation heavy and lots of things were not moving.

But towards the end of last year, you see a lot of planned projects suddenly started moving very fast.

That coincided with the time when Trump was saying that okay, they need to take Relent.

So that thread got lots of people together saying that okay, we'll be discussing about this for 15 years, you know, pros and cons and stuff.

But now let's do something about it.

So cascade that down to other industries.
