We have our own electric grid. I've been inside ERCOT and there are a wall of panels and grid operators and all the different lines and you see arrows flowing different directions and they are literally calling on people, start up that gas plant. Shut it down. It's orchestrating it. It's incredible. Make sure the baseload nuclear is always running. You don't turn nukes on and off. They just run.

We have four nuclear reactors in Texas, two at Comanche Peak, two at South Texas Project. They always run. Coal, it likes to always be on. Yeah. Think of cooking indoors in your kitchen. Would you bring charcoal in and light it up? That takes a while to get started. And once it's going, it takes a long time.

No, you... Everybody likes it always on. Some are not fully reliable, reliant on it. But so, you know, coal isn't great for that. Nuclear and coal, they're called baseload. They satisfy the minimum demand on that grid. So that's what you want in place. You need that in place, some baseload. That's the foundation. Foundation. Yeah. And natural gas... It's like cooking.

I can turn on my gas stove, boom, it's hot.

No sulfur, no SOX, no nitrogen in NOx, no mercury, no particulates. Right, right. It has CO2 when you burn it.

Well, we won't go there. But let's, yeah, relative to coal and oil, natural gas is extremely clean. It doesn't have all the... Why? Coal is all carbon. Hydrocarbons or oil is complex carbon and hydrogen chains. Natural gas is CH4, methane, one carbon, four hydrogens. It has more energy intensity density, natural gas, than oil and coal. And that sounds weird. Gas? Per unit weight. Right.

So I take a pound of natural gas, you gotta get it really cold to make it liquid or a super critical form. A pound of natural gas has more energy in it than a pound of oil.
