Yes, because some of that stuff is the stuff you need for renewable energy, and that's part of the new gold rush. There's definitely gold itself up there. There's zinc and there's nickel. The natural resources, I mean, these figures are so vast, I personally don't understand them, but it's more than 1,000 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, proven natural. to be there.

44 billion barrels of natural gas liquids, 90 billion barrels of oil. And again, we come back, as I think we will continually, to global warming and climate change. It's hard to get that stuff out in that harsh environment, but the warmer it gets, the easier it is to get to that and to the gold and to the zinc and to the nickel and

So for all those reasons, and also I do think increasingly what Jonathan referred to, the Northern Sea Route, if that's taking more than a week off your passage time, then it becomes a much more important trade route. Now, the problem with that is the trade route along the Northern Sea Route hugs the Russian coastline.

I'll try not to go into too much detail, but you have 200 miles of your EEZ, your Exclusive Economic Zone, from your coastline. Some of the routes through the narrow straits near the Russian coastline are well within that. And the Russians are beginning to tell everybody, that's our seas, our areas, you need to ask us.

So if and when Russia decides to make a thing about that, they will fall back on those grounds. So you put the whole thing together, the trade, the minerals, the oil, the geostrategic advantages, and it's warming up.

When you mentioned about Sweden and Finland coming in, when you look at the map, there's Norway right to their left. And because those two have joined... Norway is now building supply lines out of Norway, across Sweden, into Finland. And what's next?
