Yeah, that is a concern that we've had around. Our family has three windmills that my grandpa agreed to. And they're the crisscross square base. It's a steel frame. And those, like you said, those are early. Those are completely phased out.

But now our family is going through the process of, according to the end of the lease that was in place, now that property in which they were placed upon is supposed to be returned to its natural statement, to where it was before it was. So they're currently looking for bids and contractors to come and dismantle those wind turbines. Okay.

and remove as much of those footings as necessary to make that ground return to farm ground to be able to produce crop like it did prior to those towers existing.

That's a great question. I've actually not asked my dad that question, so I don't have that answer for you. Okay. It would be interesting to get the perspective of the neighbors that are in line. That wind farm itself was an original Enron, I think, when it would have gone in place. So it's had a couple of ownership changes over the period of that contract.

Um, so I don't know if the infrastructure isn't in play. The infrastructure that's in place for carrying the electricity isn't large enough to put the new higher producing towers in place. Um, I all speculation because I've not asked that question.

No, that's good. I want to take the next couple of minutes to kind of โ talk through, you know, is it debunking myths? Is it dealing with the cons of the exploration and the process of these? I just kind of want to hit a couple of negative factors and get a quick response from you on each one of them. We've already talked about the long-term commitment.

So we've already covered how that can be put in place, how that can be considered, you know, the mitigation factors for what that looks like. But when you get the questions about land use restriction, you know, it's different your operation on, on pasture versus farming, but is it that big of a deal to have the service access roads, the property around the base of these towers?
