And I think right now it's a little weird to me that we're here talking about permitting reform and talking about the amount of money and investment and opportunity that will be unlocked. But We are in the middle of a national solar ban instituted by an executive order by the President of the United States. So I'm really hawkish on this in the sense that I've been. I did the investment tax credit and the production tax credit in exchange for lifting the oil export ban. (09:58–10:05)
