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.

Sure, and we'll come back to the grid. And also I want to say with the grid, the electricity, most people don't think about this, including our leaders. Electricity is only about 25 to 30% of our total energy consumption. 65 to 70% is something else. Okay, and that's all the fuels we use, the molecules, to do transportation and commercial and residential and industrial uses of various kinds.

Travel's a big piece of it. Residential, commercial, and industrial heating and cooling, basically, to keep buildings cool or warm. And then we use molecules for a lot of other things. We make fertilizers.

At least now, and growing. Ammonia comes from methane. Yeah. And plastics. We use natural gas for plastics. All the things we do in the world that have physical constructs around them are molecules. So we're not going to electrify everything. That's a silly notion. Right, right. It's a soundbite, but it's a silly notion.

And even in this country still, we're not over 50% in the US.

They're tough. Again, that's a good topic to come to. But I'd say density is a fundamental concept. I did a TEDx talk to 1,100 kids and the way I explained density to start it was with food. I just said, hey, there's kale and there's cow. Right. And they both give me calories. Only marketers think kale is food, by the way. Well, okay. And a lot of people have written me and said, kale?
