We built like hundreds of data centers like this. Why would we change the design just for South Africa? And I think like Theron represents where I'm most interested in intercepting is, could I take some of my relationships and experience and, gather some of these new potential opportunities and help normalize them. So that way we can build a hundred new hydrogen-based data centers.

I know Yuval's building a gigawatt facility in Texas. You're going to produce a lot of water. The challenge is right now he's going to use kind of gray and blue hydrogen. But he'll probably be the largest customer for some of the new hydrogen plants coming out of the solar and wind energy in Texas, which is awesome.

The oil and gas industry in Texas can start to produce hydrogen from all the excess renewables that sit. You know, in the western Texas side and like that's awesome because there's going to be a demand driver called a big ass data center who says, give me your hydrogen and I'll pay you for it versus like a government subsidy or some sort of like other thing that would take a long time.

So yeah, that's where I'm kind of swimming, happy to help, really anxious to be able to make a positive impact there. And I think that this moment right now that we're going through with a lot of change and opportunity in the digital infrastructure space represents like a unique spot. blessed to be sitting here. Yeah. Able to do some of that.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Just, just the energy of the water.

Yeah. Just, just the energy of the water.

Amen, man.

Amen, man.

You said it very well. I came into working on the internet in a very, I'm going to call it altruistic time, the mid-90s, where it was the free software movement and also just connecting people.

And I was moved, actually, in the early 2000s, I went to United Nations IT, I don't know if it was ITF or something, but it was like the telecom side of the United Nations, and they hold like a meeting at ITF. At NYU or Columbia. And I went there and I learned that that was the only group within the United Nations where every country on earth participates.

And I was like, so we can talk to each other. And I just love that about the internet as well, which is this kind of like communication and is so powerful and being able to connect people. And I think we're just at one of those moments where we get to say, okay, what was the phrase somebody said? The brightest minds of our generation are working hard every day to make people click on faster.
