Wildly different world. Those have continually gone down, but not for regulatory reasons. They've been gone down for investor concerns, employee concerns. Just kind of do your right thing. We had an idea and did pass at the federal level a methane regulation that would have been a total disaster. It would have just destroyed all the small producers. Big companies love big regulation. It would have been beautiful for the big companies in our country, but it would have been ruinous. (31:18–31:25)
