[00:00:00]Part 10, this is the most concerning part of this entire picture. Regardless whether the data center is coming here or it gets turned down, the fact that we have a energy crisis looming in front of us regardless is very, very concerning because everybody's arguing about whether the data center will strain our power grid, but nobody is talking about the fact that our power grid is already failing without it.
