We have lawsuits stopping any potential timber development, controlled burns, or basic public access projects because they will be injuncted. There will be lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit. There was a controlled burn trying to be done in California just a couple of years ago that would have helped mitigate one of the worst fires in American history.

Our next question is from laurel Staples. It's for Senator tester. (42:28–42:37)
