And we have to win.
We can't lose this one.

We can do both of those things.
And the way you get better with this technology is to start building it.
That's what we haven't been doing over the last 50 years is actually doing the thing that we know we can do.
We have the best scientists.
We have the best innovators in the world, and Utah is betting on them, and the country needs that desperately right now.
Well, it definitely doesn't help.
And look, we are an all-of-the-above state.
We do have an immense amount of sunshine here, and we want to take advantage of solar for sure and solar with batteries.
But I just don't think most people comprehend that.
the amounts of power that are going to be needed, that are needed right now.
Look, the entire state of Utah runs on about four gigawatts of electricity.
We have one data center campus that would operate on four gigawatts of electricity.
I mean, that's over 100 years worth of electricity production and development in the state of Utah, and they need that kind of power right now.
So we need all of it.
We need the solar.
We need the coal that is still burning in Utah, the cleanest burning coal anywhere in the world.
We need the natural gas.
