And I wonder if you hear differences in the way they're talking about strategy and messaging around oil and what's going on in the industry in particular.

All right.

We are back with my colleague, Elizabeth Troval.

And you mentioned earlier about, you know, revenues being up because price of oil goes up and the oil companies can potentially get a higher profit, assuming that their, you know, costs of getting the oil around the world right now aren't too high.

But I mean, is everybody making more money in the industry?

And also, like, how would they even talk about that, you know, as a good thing given its war?

So the war with Iran wasn't the only geopolitical topic at Sarah Week.

is how they meet the rising electricity demands created by the AI boom.

What did you hear about that?
