Oh, fuck.

Well, I mean, we could.

We've chosen not to.

And, you know, it's not a new technology.

This dates back to like the early 1800s.

You basically...

Heat it up.

You boil off the sulfur.

You heat it up some more.

You purify it into metal, and then you turn it into other things.

There's nothing to stop us from doing that except for the cost, the footprint, the pollution.

These are real things.

And to this point, America has chosen to just let someone else do it.

perspective being able to see over big timelines is uh is one of the many many many and that assumes it works and the green technologies that we have right now don't so spending 30 trillion dollars or whatever the most current number is to achieve net zero in the united states by 2050 um

assumes these technologies actually do what they say they're going to, and we already know that they don't.

We have plenty of math to prove that.

This is why I'm really big on physical chemistry, because we need to find new ways to do things, and we don't know what chunks of the land on the planet we're going to need access to to make those technologies work until we've built some of them.

Yeah.

Until we know the answer to that question, we don't know how to prepare it.

It's going to be one of each.
