So obviously oil and energy costs right now because of the news are a big deal.
I guess I do wonder where your geopolitical sensitivities are, right?
What's your tolerance level, right?
Because the more expensive oil gets, the better this thing becomes.
It is true.
So let's say I'm on a farm in Iowa or I'm a software developer in San Francisco or whatever, just a random person in this economy.
Make me care about this.
Do I need to?
Yeah, I think you do.
Because people, honestly, people are going to say, oh my God, nuclear reactors right next to my farm and at this data center.
It's right there.
I get all that.
But here we get back to the people screaming at me on the radio saying, Kai, come on, nuclear.
I think there's an association with Three Mile Island and Fukushima, and that's what people worry about.
And I don't want to go down the nuclear catastrophe thing, right?
working on the safety thing, and I appreciate that.
But, you know, if this is part of the energy future, I think people have to understand what's going on.
Hopefully, if Equinix buys one of these things, it's not going to send electricity rates through the roof, right?
I mean, the big thing with data centers now is, oh, my God, electricity bills are going up.
