This is a – when you're – especially this kind of – to a certain extent, this fairly unfairly legitimizes, in my view, the asset class. When was it they announced ETFs or JP Morgan or some – BlackRock last year. So this is yet another kind of signal of them legitimizing it.

Do you think that... Are you still worried about every American owning fossil fuels? No. That's a real business that has real value in the real world.
