Is that part of the commission's purview in deciding what happens with those places and the growth in both of those areas? Yes, it's certainly a concern. I know TSMC and Intel, the plants, they do use a lot of water, but they know they're in a desert, and they've actually already designed a lot of water, reuse, a lot of water purification. So once they have all the water they need, they won't need much additional. They can continually reuse it. They're actually very wise about being located in such a desert environment. (07:55–08:08)
