And they find that having flexible engines like these Wärtsilä engines are the best choice for that future that they see.

Yeah, I was just thinking that the news this week, right?

The major players out there like Google is going to invest $180 billion this year.

Amazon, $200 billion.

Put all those big players together and you're pushing a trillion dollars.

These are words we didn't use in the past.

So what's next?

I don't even know.

I'm like, okay, quadrillion is next.

When are we going to get to quadrillions in investments?

Yeah, I'll just preface it by all of those drivers drive more need for power, right?

And the...

the fact of the matter is, is that inside those data centers, each one of those racks where they used to be five or 10 kilowatt racks are now at a hundred kilowatts and moving north, right?

And so each one of those racks requiring more power and without power, you can't, you know, make the GPUs work in synchronization and you can't produce tokens out the other end.

And so, you know,

major companies can't do inference and figure out how to be more productive and efficient so it all requires power and in the status we're in right now in in america you know it's going to require a mix of all things in on-grid on-grid power off-grid power it's all going to be needed and like i said earlier all ships are rising because of it in the power industry

Well, we're unique in another way in the fact that not only do we make power generation from our reciprocating internal combustion engines,

We also make battery energy storage systems and energy management software that manages entire grids.

And when I say that, I mean,

We actually power islands, Rich, in the Caribbean, about 90% of the islands in the Caribbean, places like Aruba, Curacao, Dominican Republic use Varsila to power, but also for energy storage as well.
