Speaking of gas, hydrocarbons, fossil fuels. Here we've got 30 days buffer, right? Before we run out of everything. There are some ships on the way. We don't have our own refinery anymore. So we're reliant on refined products who are delivered, you know, the crude and then I think Singapore and um Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea for us. Um it's really focused back on the uh essential nature of hydrocarbons. Where the narrative has been renewables hammered at us for quite some time now. So, do you think um do you think it's going to force a sort of like a reassessment of the sort of dreamy, you know, solar renewable kind of, which can't fulfill the base load of energy requirements in countries. Do you see that being revisited or that um previous narrative sort of being pushed back to some reality now that fossil fuels are essential, we got to stick with them, no matter what. Otherwise our standard of living falls to pieces. You know, everything's undone. What's your perception of that? Yeah, I think a lot of that has already begun, at least here in the states. And and part of it was because of the ...
