I mean, the Democrat bill wants to have 70% renewables. I mean, Matt, that is so absolutely unrealistic. It's scary because right now we have 40 data centers in Wisconsin. If those 40 data centers were required to have power from renewables, it would require 75,000 Lambeau fields full of solar. It is impossible to have happen in Wisconsin. It would be half the size of Menominee County. So the idea of where they are is totally unrealistic. (07:17–07:26)
