And he, you know, he's super pro-liberty guy, but super pro-cheap energy guy and he's pro-nuclear. So I think we have some really great people who care about this.

If we're going to say 100 years, though, I mean, sorry to interrupt, if we're going to say 100 years, technology changes, it's very clear you could probably do it from space if you really wanted to.

Austin City Council is not perfect. Austin, they call it the blueberry and the tomato soup. So there may be a tiny bit of banking going on, but despite that, you're able to build there and everywhere else around it, you're building like mad. So it works. There's plenty of supply. I agree.
