We're going to build 1.5 gigawatts first, so a fraction of the 9 gig proposed, and make sure everything works and the people there in Box Elder County can come and inspect it and see the air quality, EPA standards we're going to hold up to, the water rights permits that we're going to maintain and be compliant with.
the noise EPA requirements that we have to be compliant with, the air quality we have to be compliant with.
Get the first one up, a small fraction of it, and show everybody how it works.
That's the plan.
And then I didn't need 40,000 acres, but that was the parcel available.
That's twice the size of Manhattan.
It's called the Maya designation right beside the Hill Air Force Base.
Yeah, but I don't I don't need all that.
But that was what was available.
I'm going to lease it back to grazers, do some manufacturing.
Maybe there's plenty of land.
We don't need it all.
So what we do is there's the Ruby pipeline there.
It's only 17% utilized.
It's one of the most underutilized pipelines in America.
So it's not like we're, so we buy gas from the Ruby pipeline and we put it into a clean generator and it generates electricity.
And we tie that back to the grid if they want it, or we power a data center.
That's the idea.
So we have to build the power first,
And the power itself, I think we have a big challenge in every state.
