Think of, so you start to extrapolate, this is the energy density, certain forms of energy just won the physics game, uranium and natural gas, basically.
That's the first principle. Energy underpins healthy economies. And, and we'll come to this, healthy economies can afford to invest in the environment.

Yeah, we should talk about some of those things. And I've probably been talking about that little triangle for 25 years. Energy, the economy, the environment, and all those investments. The cleanest air in the world, not talking about atmosphere, but the stuff we breathe, particulate matter 2.5, is where it's rich. Right. The worst air in the world is where it's poor. Right.

They just can't afford to clean it up. So this is a fundamental... And it goes that direction. Energy, the economy, the environment.

And ironically, kind of an important point here, if you want to... Clean up the atmosphere emissions as well as the land, the air, and the water. You have to accelerate economic development. You have to accelerate human flourishing.

And it's not just the billion who are in extreme poverty. Let's call them the emerging world. It's the next four to five billion people that have intermittent energy. Their power comes and goes. Their fuels vary and are not reliable to them. So it's this whole three to four billion people kind of emerging, another three to four billion developing, and 1.4 billion developed.

That's an energy transition hierarchy. That's a global health hierarchy. Right. That's an access to food hierarchy. That's a clean water hierarchy. That's a clean soils hierarchy. That's a clean air hierarchy. Opportunity for your children hierarchy. It's everything. Right. And so if you could picture the average of the wealthy world, 1.3 billion of us, consume about 50 megawatt hours. Right.
