And just one other thing I want to say is electricity prices spiked up a lot this January. They spiked up a lot because of incredibly cold weather and international intrigue. And If we had had our wind power going at about almost 10 cents a kilowatt hour, that would have stabilized prices. and that would have led to grid reliability. You've got to remember, when the prices spike up, they spike up to maybe 10 times the price of our nuclear power deal and 5 times the cost of our wind power. (13:48–13:55)
