It's cheaper than desalination, generally speaking, of ocean water.
And often it's cheaper than diverting water in from other parts of a state or other parts of the country.
And it's local water.
And it's drought resistant because there's always sewage.
They always got to go.
That's right.
Yeah, that's absolutely right.
So it's really over time, the big factor has been psychological.
But what we're seeing is that the water crisis is getting so bad that
in so many parts of the country and the world that people are, in some places, just already over the psychology of it, and they're, bring it on.
We need this option.
We need this locally drought-resistant source of clean, purified drinking water, and the cost is worth it from a security standpoint.
Yeah, yeah.
I think in some communities, they're just not ready for it.
They're just not psychologically ready for it or their water situation isn't dire enough for them to include it in their water supply portfolios.
