And for years, management was saying, we need to upgrade these century-old transmission lines because they are a fire threat. We need to be able to cut trees down around the power lines so they don't start them on fire. And of course, what does the state of California say? No, you can't cut trees down. Cutting trees down is bad. We don't do that in California. You can't cut trees down.

Oh, by the way, we're not letting you spend any more money on these power lines because they carry dirty power. And dirty power is bad for Mother Nature and it's bad for the world. So instead, you're going to take that money you want to fix your old dirty power lines, you're going to build wind turbines. And over the objections of management, that's what happened and the impacts we feel now.

And it's no different – there's a great science experiment you can do with somebody when they ask about aerial firefighting, which obviously you're seeing a display of that here in California right now. The big yellow planes that come in and scoop the water, that's what I fly. That's what our company would operate.

Everywhere else in the world, when those planes drop water on fire, you know when you take a glass and you fill it with a carbonated beverage and you pour it in quick? It fills. You know, you maybe pour three ounces and the whole cup's full of carbonation. You pour still water into your glass, however much you pour in is how much you fill.

Every other country in the world, when you see those water bombers fly in, they use what's called water additives.

So you scoop the water out of the ocean, out of a lake reservoir, you add in gel-based additives, foam additives, whatever it is, retardant-based solutions, and increases the effectiveness of that water drops on the fire by five to six X, three to four X, depending on the, but you know, significantly. And because when it drops on the fire, it foams up and suffocates the fire.

But here in America, we don't do that because we're not allowed because that foam might harm the white-tailed deer population or the Eurasian snailfish or the smelt or the goldfish. Well, we don't want that stuff poured in our forests, so that's bad. We don't like- That's throughout the entire US? Yes. You are prohibited. Not like you're not encouraged not to do it.

You are prohibited from putting those things in your airplanes. It's like the rest of the world fights this way because it's more effective. Now you're forcing, it's like if you were deployed overseas and they said, no, you can't carry that AR, it's too effective. And there might be a straight bullet to hit a civilian. You can only carry your side on this deployment. Jeez.
