Leah BowersGUEST
And Fervo Energy, which is the developer, announced a 396 megawatt power purchase agreement with Google, and that was on September 1st.

Leah BowersGUEST
So Google spends money, and Fervo says, "We'll give you our energy in the future" and-

... and we know California has that kind of mandate where they want, um, clean energy, so they're going to all these different sources across the country to get it.
