I keep thinking about the fact that California is a place where they plan to do things like outlaw cars that run on gasoline, like these really sweeping, ambitious prohibitions that are aimed at transforming the nature of the state itself and trying to capture the future. It would be wonderful.

if they adopted that sort of approach to fire mitigation, like something audacious and aggressive that they continued to talk about year over year. I mean, California is, I mean, we, I live in Mill Valley, California now. Mill Valley is similarly at very high risk of fire and actually has a pretty aggressive approach to these things, but is subject to a lot of the same sort of concerns.

And I think a lot of people hear talk of sort of climate change in the context of these conversations about wildfires and imagine that mitigating climate change is kind of enough to address this, in which case doing something about fossil fuels will perhaps help to mitigate this problem. And it just, it does not. It is not nearly the same thing.
