And I, I do take the point exactly what you're saying in that if, uh, for just a handful of days and throughout the year, you do find that you do need to rely on some water, then let's have the conversation.
Absolutely.
I, I think that's common sense, uh,
very much so but obviously when you're in the middle east or in warmer temperatures or things like that it presents a whole pile of other other problems but as you said having a conversation about it is definitely the first place to start and addressing and coming up with some sort of prescriptive solution to a problem no doubt about that of course yeah no water water is not a an infinitely available resource and there's certainly
Yeah, no, 100%.
But again, I think that people have taken a more sensible look at that rather than actually in the past.
So what I've seen happen in the industry is that somebody comes up with a solution, other people look at it and say, that's perfect.
And they take the cookie cutter approach and say, let's take that and let's take a thousand of them and deploy them all over the world.
Whereas to be fair to things such as the wooden data centers, they look at the environments that they go into.
So for example, um, across the Nordics where wood is very much an engineered and acceptable product, um, they're very, uh, sustainable in terms of their approach.
And it's a very.

I completely concur with you.
There's people looking at various different solutions in different places, but I think when it comes to the building materials, which is a slightly different conversation to the cooling conversation, when they look at the building materials, they're more open to solutions that have proven to work within that particular geographic location.
You know, you won't see too many aluminium clad
Uh, uh, Nordic entities, I would imagine in the next 20 years, it will all be some sort of renewable point of, of, of some description.
And, and they look to be, let's be honest, they look gorgeous.
They look like they're part of the landscape by particularly like some of the ones that they've been built into the side of a hill so that you don't actually see them, but we don't always have, um, as you rightly said, we're at a
