What do you think about implementing capacity of power transmission lines like certain power poles can only handle transmission of power up to a certain point? That's a we've actually discussed that idea like several times over the years of of like yeah basically like power decay over over distance. Um, and like it's not an ideal we've ever said fully no to, but it's also never an idea that we said fully yes to, cuz it kind of grays into the same territory as like factory maintenance. like it's adding it's it's adding a challenge to in a in a way that we we're not necessarily sure we want to be challenged like when it comes to distance and like outposts because I don't know it's it's one of those things where we're like we might want to look into this at some point because we do think there's interesting stuff there but we have to be careful about how that kind of snowballs with other things that already exist. All right. Um, so we have thought about it and it's like an interesting idea we think, but no idea if we're ever going to actually do anything about it. Good stuff.
