On the various locations - where it's possible to have it. the risk is, as you mentioned, it's a challenge, _ an engineering challenge, - to handle that amount of heat and amount of energy but it's still fairly solvable, _ it's solved in a lot of power plants, so i think we'll see| more and more of them, i but the scale is really hard. it's hard to scale that up to cover huge amount i of the world's energy needs. you'll cover percentages but you're not going - to cover 100% of the world. the world is a big battery| but it's hard to harvest it. you'll cover percentages but you're not going - to...
