[00:00:00]I think indecision costs you more in the long run. And from what I understand, please correct me if I'm wrong on on Corpus, >> [music] >> is that it was years ago right around COVID that they had agreed to come to the budget of like 600 something million >> [music] >> to do the desal plant. But then over time they were trying to collect the money, right? That takes a couple of years, I guess. And then [music] in the meantime they were concerned about the brine water, what's going to happen with all the salt. And we have no place to put that. So I guess that wasn't incorporated in the quote. So shame on the guys that, you know, did the quote.

[00:00:34]But now here it is a couple of years later because of the COVID situation, our supply chain was ridiculous. And so that 600 something million by the time they got the money, now [music] it's almost 2 billion. And so now, okay, well now what are we going to do? Now we got to come up with 2 billion dollars.
