lab locations. I don't know if we can. I don't know if there's any way to find them from the air. But suppose we could, and then we just turn it over to the other faction and just let them destroy each other until they're so weakened that then you go in.

You know, Elon Musk famously says that if you had 100 square miles of solar panels and enough batteries to store it when the sun is not out, that you could power the entire country. Now, I'd love to see somebody who really understands the industry argue with that point. Now, and also it should be said that that's just for calculation purposes. You wouldn't put them all in one place. That would be insane, because one big natural disaster, you lose everything. But just in terms of how practical it is, Musk says it's completely practical. Yeah, and it doesn't even sound like you'd have to invent very much. Sounds like we already have what we need. So that's pretty interesting, and I think it tells you what the future looks like.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, that's all I wanted to do today. Thanks for joining. I'm going to talk to the Locals subscribers privately now. But come back tomorrow, same time, same place, and we'll see if Representative Crenshaw has killed Tucker yet. I think he'll still be alive. We hope.

All right, Locals coming at you privately in 30 seconds.
