All that's happened is that we have two energy markets. We have a renewable market and we have a fossil fuel market. The battery plants are using coal plants to keep them running. They're using diesel generators to keep the batteries cool. All the solar products are manufactured. Most of them are manufactured in China where they're building 300 more coal plants in order to meet that manufacturing demand. Thank you. (42:07–42:11)
