Transcript

We talk a lot about a social license to operate because and we believe that in the future you will get more and more pushback from communities around having data centers in their backyard because you've got these these huge sheds which are hogging and clogging transmission grids. So these transmission grids being built by public money. And then they'll commercial enterprise, you know, dumps down there and says what I want 100 megawatts. And then suddenly you realize that half the streets in the area can't put in heat pumps because they're. There's no more grid capacity in the substations or they can't have electric cars. So, so we think that social license to a price will be increasingly important in the future. Now, no doubt. But the also the other, I, I guess the other on the other sort of flip side of this is that data centers don't really employ anyone, right? But I think the data center industry is a bit naughty when it says, oh, you know, we're going to dinner or data center, we're going to employ 4000 people. It's like, that's actually not true. You might deploy 4000 people while it's being built, but the reality is once the dates and stuff and running the number of people. Who have to be employed in the actual vicinity are very low. But if you build a data center and then you say I'm going to reuse the heat with a aquaculture park or a a distillery or laundry suddenly venue then produce genuine net new jobs in a local area. So not only is the kind of the environmental bit of the social license to operate importance. We think increasingly data centers are going to be looked on as as happened to be good kids citizens in terms of, you know, employment. And doing the right thing with the community.
