And look at what we'd be now. matched

I mean, even now with AI, imagine what it's going to do for healthcare or energy. matched

You have people that are trying to stop that. matched

Yet if it was their family member, if it was their son or daughter that they had to take to the emergency room, they're going to hope that that hospital is equipped with the most advanced technology to treat and help support their person faster, right? matched

So I don't think people really want to get rid of it because the theme has always been, this is noisy, this is polluting. matched

And this has a massive strain on local infrastructure. matched

They were saying the same thing about the automobiles 100 years ago. matched

So where this industry is today is the exact same place the automobile industry was 100 years ago. matched

The only difference is it's absent the voice of the industry. matched

You got Dean Nelson's, you got Chris Crosby's, you got a few guys that are out there that are massive champions. matched

What Dean has done with Infrastructure Masons is probably the greatest thing that's happened in the industry. matched

for creating an internal collective that self-governs, right? matched

He's trying to make sure, hey, before communities kill us, let's go to closed-loop water systems. matched

Let's try to go to zero-water designs. matched

Let's try to build infrastructure behind the meter. matched

What that means is if you want to build a data center, cool. matched

Build your own power and build enough to support the grid as well, right? matched

And that's the only way matched

to ensure we don't pass down the costs of power infrastructure upgrades to the consumer so we don't want to see is i don't want to see as a resident of any town my price for energy is increasing scarcity of energy is going to always increase price but until we start building behind the meter which makes the infrastructure that we're building around capable of being reinforced one and you said something there that i think at least again you know one what i obviously hear matched

So we have to find where we can generate power, and it has to be next door to where the data center is going to be so we can avoid the transmission delays. matched
